Actress and BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, on Tuesday responded to a "heartbreaking video" of children who were seen risking their lives to cross a gushing river in Himachal Pradesh's Kullu.
Responding to a post related to the video, Kangana sympathised with the hardships of locals and said there is an alternate road to the same place.
"My team spoke to Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Shamshi, and this comes under the national park and falls within the purview of the forest department. He has assured me that in 3-4 days, when the weather improves, the bridge work will resume. This is a heartbreaking video of the hardships of the locals; however, there is an alternate road to the same place via Tirthpani," she wrote while responding to the viral video.
Kangana's response follows a post by an X user, Nikhil Saini, who shared the video of locals putting their lives in danger in the absence of a bridge in the Sainj area of Himachal Pradesh's Kullu district.

Sharing the video, Nikhil wrote, "Video from Sainj in Kullu district—children risking their lives just to study. If this were the path to a neta ji's house, the government and administration would've formed a human bridge or laid themselves in the river. But for the common man, until 1–2 die, no one gives a damn."
Kangana's response to the post has drawn appreciation from users for paying attention to the issue. "Thank you for your quick attention to your duty. That's why I am a fan of yours," one user wrote.
"Great proactive response," wrote a second user.
"This is what we expect from you," commented a third user.
"Hope you will share a similar video where work is completed and people can safely cross the path," wrote another user.
