Jhampa village is located with Rajganj market in Manirampur upazila of Jessore. For many days, the villagers have to cross the boat to come to Rajganj market because of the swamp. Boats were the daily companion for hundreds of students to go to school. Therefore, to ease the suffering of the villagers, 60 youths of Jhampa village have built a floating bridge over the river with their own funds. That floating bridge has already caught the eye of many.

A plastic drum bridge is being built on a plastic drum 1000 feet long at a cost of 70 lakh rupees. However, without any prior planning, they started and finished the construction of the floating bridge of their dreams using their intelligence. They did not take any engineer's opinion in this matter. Using their own plans, 839 plastic drums, 800' iron angle sheets and 250 iron seats were added to the 8 feet wide and 1000 feet long bridge. This work was done by Rabiul Islam, a lathe craftsman of Rajganj Bazar. The bridge has already received a huge response from different parts of the country as well as from around the world and for the convenience of tourists and local people, work is now underway to widen it again from eight feet to twelve feet, which hopefully will facilitate public transportation.
