Uttarkashi: The construction of the valley bridge has been completed in place of the disaster-damaged bridge at Limchyagad on Gangotri National Highway. By working on a war footing and building the bridge in a short period of three days, the road on the Gangotri route has now become smooth till Sonagad and this has also paved the way for rapid reconstruction of the damaged road ahead. Due to the heavy rains in the past few days, the Gangotri National Highway was damaged at many places and the 30 meter long bridge built on Limchyagad ahead of Ganganani was washed away during the disaster. As a result, traffic on this road, which is called the lifeline of the border Taknaur area, was completely disrupted.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami reached the spot immediately after the disaster and directed to conduct relief and rescue and reconstruction works on a war footing. The Chief Minister is constantly reviewing the progress of these works. Under the supervision and direction of the Chief Minister, various departments and agencies of the state and central government are conducting rescue and relief operations with better coordination and speed. Along with this, work is being done day and night to restore normalcy in the disaster affected area as soon as possible. As a result, communication facilities, electricity and drinking water supply have been restored in the disaster affected area.
