The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has constructed a 200-feet bailey bridge on the Joshimath-Malari road across the Rishiganga river near the Raini village in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, reports Economic Times.
Opened for the public on Wednesday (3 March), the bailey bridge built by BRO has restored connectivity to 13 border villages in Chamoli district which were badly hit by flash floods last month following a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF).
The bailey bridge's construction has been completed in a record time of 26 days by BRO. Issuing a statement in this regard, BRO's Director General Lt Gen Rajeev Chaudhry informed that the bailey bridge has been named as 'The Bridge of Compassion' as a tribute to the fallen "Karma Yogis of the Reini power plant and the NTPC".
In the statement, Lt Gen Chaudhry has also thanked the state government for providing support and assistance in the completion of the difficult task.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
