The Documentary Podcast The forgotten people of the Ravi River
Jun 9, 2024
Residents living near the Ravi River struggle daily due to the lack of a permanent bridge separating them from essential services. The historical division of the river during The Partition of 1947 has left communities with limited access to healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The podcast explores the challenges faced by villagers, their reliance on a temporary pontoon bridge, and the efforts of a politician to bring hope through advocating for bridge construction.
