Bailey bridge near LAC collapses after heavy rain | India News – Times of India
As per sources, the footbridge is important for the Indian Army and Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) as it connects Uttarkashi to the Indo-China border via Himachal Pradesh, and is used for long-range patrolling. Forest guards and local shepherds also use the bridge.
RN Pandey, deputy director, GNP, said, “The bridge collapsed some days back due to flooding in Chorgad river. Reconstruction of the bridge will be started soon.”
