9, was intended to connect key localities such as the Uppalwadi industrial zone, Mhada Colony, and several densely populated residential clusters. However, the road leading to and from the bridge was never completed due to limited land availability between Mhada Colony and Guru Nanak Pharmacy College, despite a work order being issued.Ashi Nagar zone's executive engineer Ajay Pazare admitted that the civic body failed to construct the road. "Now we are going to propose this work in this year's budget," he told TOI.Local residents report that the lack of access roads has turned the bridge into a dead investment. "People struggle to commute. Students from the nearby Mook Badhir (deaf and mute) school and a newly opened Hindi medium school face difficulties every day," a local resident said. The area also houses a Muslim graveyard, further underlining the critical need for accessible roads.The bridge was initially constructed to facilitate an upcoming sewage treatment plant (STP), and while that component was completed, the accompanying bridge infrastructure remains unutilised. The locality also faces sanitation issues, with residents alleging that the sewage line was only partially cleaned by a contractor, leading to unhygienic conditions.Samrat Ashok Nagar and its surroundings, including Patel Layout, Deepak Nagar Housing Society, Naseeman Housing Society, Dattatreya Nagar, and Gaurav Agrawal's scheme, are home to over 10,000 people. Two major infrastructure schemes—one worth Rs584 crore and another Rs544 crore—are ongoing in the area, but locals complain that the most basic need, road connectivity, is being neglected.The bridge, built over the Nag river, was meant to be a vital link for residents to access essential services such as fuel stations, gas agencies, and schools, including a military school nearby. Locals say that despite repeated visits by civic officials, including the commissioner, no permanent resolution has been implemented.Residents are now demanding urgent intervention from NMC to construct the missing roads and make the bridge functional, as continued inaccessibility affects daily life and public safety.

Govt schools to celebrate ‘Welcome Week'
Patna: The education department has asked all govt schools in Bihar, from classes I to VIII, to celebrate 'Welcome Week' from June 23 to June 27. Director of primary education, Sahila, issued a letter on Saturday to all district education officers and district programme officers in this regard. The initiative has been taken to smoothly re-engage children in the teaching-learning process and improve attendance following a 20-day summer holiday. Over the five-day period, schools will organise three activities for students each day. The day will begin with inspiring songs played through loudspeakers an hour before the school day starts, followed by a warm welcome by teachers at the school gates. During the morning assembly, headteachers will conduct student-focused activities, including a welcome speech, inspirational stories, the introduction of a great personality's life, poetry recitation and discussions designed to foster motivation and engagement. Homework completed by students over the summer break will also be assessed during Welcome Week. Those who perform exceptionally well will be honoured with a badge to instil pride and strengthen their connection with the school, thereby encouraging regular attendance. Each day's first teaching period will revolve around a specific theme. On the first day, under the theme 'Summer Vacation Express', students will share their holiday experiences with teachers. On the second day, "Homework Express" will focus on activities related to evaluating and discussing summer homework. The third day's theme, "Mathematics Express", will involve mathematical activities. On the fourth day, students will take part in "Reading Express", reading one Hindi chapter of their choice. The final day will be celebrated as "Welcome Week Express," during which students who excelled in the homework assessment will be honoured with badges in the presence of their parents. The department expects that this structured and engaging initiative will help students transition back into academic life with enthusiasm and promote stronger school attendance in the weeks ahead.
