School children in Gokak Taluk, Belagavi, are using a JCB to cross a submerged 50-year-old bridge, after continuous heavy rainfall cut off access to Upparatti village. Despite police restrictions, villagers employ the JCB for safe passage, including for students, whose images crossing the flooded bridge have circulated widely on social media.
