Tribals resumed their objection at the border of Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh for the 15th day on Wednesday against the building of a bridge on the Indravati river which, they say, would aid the mining firms, but damage the atmosphere and affect the interests of local habitants.
Government officials feel that tribals would end their protests once the benefits of the bridge are explained to them. Additional Collector of Bhamragarh, Shubham Gupta said the bridge would bring connectivity between Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh over the Indravati river which acts as a natural border between Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.
