Dismantling of 111-Year-Old Pamban Bridge Begins

A very old bridge called the Pamban Railway Bridge, which is 111 years old, is being taken apart.

This bridge was built in 1914 to connect an island called Rameswaram to the mainland.

It was special because parts of it could be lifted and lowered by people to let ships pass through.

The bridge was damaged in a big storm in 1964 but was fixed and used again.

Now, a new bridge has been built, and the old one is being removed.

Some people want the old bridge to be saved and put in a museum so everyone can see it.

The new bridge is different because it has a part that goes up and down using electricity to let ships pass.

The old bridge is being taken apart in pieces, and it will take about four months to finish.
