Government has started some cost saving projects in Melghat. For that the example could be the bridge connecting the village KALAMKHAR & GOLKHEDA, constructed on the GADGA River.one will get definetly surprised after geting the history of this bridge.Interesting fact about this bridge is that this bridge was initialy constructed on the PURNA river near the village ASEGAON-PURNA near the PARATWADA in the BRITISH era.when government decided to renew this bridge , at the same time people of Melghat were facing very serious problem from long time.
Village Kalamkhar & Golkheda is devided by the river GADGA.before having any bridge there only way to go to golkheda , one has to pass through the river GADGA.But in rainy season it was very hard to pass the river bcoz of flood water.Not only GOLKHEDA, but including it thirteen numbers of villages were remaining disconnected during the rainy season, so keeping in mind the same problem government decided to do some different at this time.At first they dismantled the bridge of ASEGAON -PURNA, which is made of steel structures. then using those steel structures & cement-concrete this brige was succesfuly reconstructed on the GADGA river.Not only this aspect is interesting, but also anot
her amazing side of this work is,this bridge required Rs. 55 Lakh. other wise it would have required Rs. 2.55 Crore to construct .so saving the valuable Rs. 2.0 Crores. some of snaps I have uploaded here.It is very beatiful to see this site in the rainy season. this village KALAMHAR is located on INDORE-AMRAVATI State-High way, 8 km away from DHARNI.
