This video clip captures already constructed bridge on Singha river in the backdrop of Someshwar mountain on one side and slightly visible Bakhari Baazar village on the other, on Ramnagar-Gobardhana road in Tharuhat of West Champaran Bihar India along Indo-Nepal border on 13th June 2017. It is part of the ambitious project to construct road along the Indo-Nepal border to enhance surveillance and security in this area with full budgetary support of Central government and State government.The 552.3 km long road will run parallel to East-West corridor costing around Rs 3,600 crores. This road will be spread over West Champaran including Tharuhat, East Champaran, Sitamadhi, Madhubani, Araria and Kisanganj connecting Gorakhpur on one side and Siliguri on the other. It is also claimed that it will not only improve security of the area by connecting various check posts of Sashatra Seema Bal (SSB) but also improve road connectivity for common man. The Tharu schedule tribe of Tharuhat West Champaran who have been exploited and oppressed for ages are little bit apprehensive about this border road running through Tharuhat. They say that the area will not only be prone to criminal activities but with free and fast movement of bajis (non-tharus) the culture, social life and distinct identity of this simple tribal people will be in danger.
