A road constructed in New Bortianor has been washed away by rain, leaving behind a gully that makes it cumbersome for residents to access their homes.

In one particular home, the occupants have placed two wooden ladders at opposite ends of the gully so they can enter and exit the house,

In a video shared by @gyaigyimii on Twitter, the ladder close to the house is longer because the rift is deeper there, while the one further from the house is shorter.
