This video is of school children going from Nuniyakachar to Gitpuri school in Mungeli district of Chhattisgarh.
Children pass through dangerous paths everyday
Regarding the video, it was also found out that this situation has arisen due to the lack of a bridge over the Agar river between Nuniyakachar and Gitpuri. Due to which school children cross the river every day risking their lives to go to school.
