Banap Bridge

Locals call for govt assistance

It has been more than 17 days since the bridge collapsed, and although the people are seeing a little development, where one of the existing Bailey bridges is being worked on, they say they still have not seen any government representatives on ground.

Spokesman Michole Barui estimates that over 3,000 locals have been affected by the collapse of the bridge, which was used on a daily basis.

Currently the people are using makeshift rafts to be transported from either sides of the river.
