Assam Bridges: Repair Work Progresses in Katigorah and Bhangarpar
Two bridges in Assam are being repaired after they were damaged.
The Gammon Bridge in Katigorah is being fixed after it collapsed because of trucks that were too heavy.
They expect it to be done by July 20.
Another bridge over the Harang river also collapsed, and they are building a temporary bridge called a Bailey bridge to replace it quickly.
The government is also fixing another road to help people get around while the bridges are being fixed.
An investigation is happening to find out what happened with the Harang river bridge.
Gammon Bridge in Katigorah is undergoing repairs after a collapse.
The collapse was due to overloaded trucks, severely impacting traffic.

The Assam government sanctioned Rs 2 crore for restoring the Ronghor route.
