Militants blow up bridge in Manipur's Kamjong
In Manipur, India, some bad people called militants blew up a big bridge that connected many villages.
This bridge was very important because it helped people travel to the district headquarters.
The bridge was built a few years ago by the government to help the villages.
The militants also set fire to a car near the river.
The government is trying to find out who did this and why.
It's important because now the villages are cut off and can't easily get to the main town.
Suspected militants blew up a 130-foot bailey bridge in Manipur's Kamjong district.
The bridge was constructed under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) in 2016.
The explosion cut off key connectivity between Kamjong District headquarters and Sahamphung Sub-Divisional headquarters.
A pick-up vehicle parked near the Namban Lok River was also set ablaze.
Preliminary investigations suggest explosives were used to destroy the bridge.
