BAGAHA: The
iron bridge over the
Karataha river at
Sukhalahi under Mainatard block in
West Champaran's
Narakatiaganj sub-division has now turned risky. Nearly half of bridge's sleepers have collapsed, owing to the broken plates on all the sleepers. The bridge has become virtually a death trap.
The 25-metre-long iron bridge was constructed nearly 25 years ago. A large population of Mainatard block has been using the bridge for going to sub divisional headquarters Narakatiaganj.
But at present, the bridge is in risky condition, the beams of the bridge have been rusty.
"There is no other option left to cross the river for going to Narakatiaganj sub divisional headquarters from Mainatard block," the CPI-ML MLA from Sikta Birendar Prasad Gupta said.
