Roads and bridges are built, but why are the paths of these Vishwakarma of Jharkhand full? ::

News India Live, Digital Desk: Special on Engineers Day: Today is Engineers Day. This day is to salute those who create the future of a state and country with their thinking, their hard work and their skills. When we see wide roads, high bridges and big buildings of Jharkhand, we see progress. But we often forget those faces whose sweat and day and night hard work changes in reality – and they are our engineers.

In a state like Jharkhand, where there is immense potential of development, the role of an engineer is no less than an ‘Vishwakarma’. But there is another aspect of the coin, which often does not see us. Working for an engineer here is not less than fighting a war.

What challenges do the engineers of Jharkhand struggle every day?

1. Land’s web: The first and biggest challenge for any major infrastructure project in Jharkhand is the land acquisition. Even before any project starts, it is so trapped in land disputes that it takes years to complete. This is the biggest headache for engineers.
2. The shadow of ‘red terror’: Many districts of the state are still struggling with the problem of Naxalism. In these areas, building a road or bridge is like working by placing life on the palm. Engineers and laborers often face threatening threats, levy (extortion) and even kidnapping on behalf of Naxalites.
3. Political and local pressure: There is often a lot of political interference in government projects. In addition, many times local domineering and anti -social elements also obstruct work and pressurize engineers for their own benefit.
4. Lack of resources: Many times, funds are not available on time for the project or lack of essential machinery and resources, which slows the speed of work and all its pressure comes on the engineer.

Despite all these difficulties, the engineers of Jharkhand are engaged in their work every day with a new courage. They have only one dream – creating a Jharkhand where every village is connected by a paved road, a bridge over every river and the light of development reaches every corner. Today, we should salute not only their structures, but also their passion.
