Basic Amenities Still Elude Darwas Bero Village in Sahibganj
Brief By Newsbrief / 10:54 AM on 08 Jul 2026
Residents of Darwas Bero village under Sadar Panchayat in Taljhari block of Sahibganj district continue to face severe hardships due to the absence of essential public infrastructure. Basic facilities such as all-weather roads, clean drinking water and reliable electricity remain inadequate, significantly affecting the daily lives of villagers. During the monsoon season, the village roads become muddy and nearly impassable, making transportation extremely difficult.
The poor road condition creates serious challenges for schoolchildren, patients and farmers. Children often struggle to reach their schools, while sick or injured residents face delays in accessing medical care. Farmers also find it difficult to transport agricultural produce or travel for farming-related work. Villagers say the damaged roads have become a major obstacle, especially during emergencies when timely assistance is crucial.
The village is also facing a persistent drinking water crisis. Residents are forced to fetch water from distant sources, placing an additional burden on women and elderly people. Along with water scarcity, the irregular electricity supply has become another major concern. Frequent power outages disrupt children's education, household activities and small businesses. During the summer months, prolonged electricity cuts make living conditions even more difficult.
According to the villagers, these issues have been repeatedly brought to the attention of the concerned government departments and local public representatives. However, they allege that no concrete action has been taken so far, leaving the community disappointed and frustrated.
The residents have appealed to the district administration and elected representatives to prioritize the construction of proper roads, ensure a permanent supply of clean drinking water and restore uninterrupted electricity in the village. They believe government development schemes should benefit every rural community and hope the authorities will take immediate steps to resolve these long-standing problems, improving the quality of life for the people of Darwas Bero village.
