After the disaster, the army engineer team built a new bridge to make North Sikkim operational.

SIKKIM FLOOD SITUATION: INDIAN ARMY ENGINEERS CONSTRUCT 150 FEET LONG FOOT SUSPENSION BRIDGE TO RECONNECT AREAS CUT OFF IN NORTH SIKKIM.

Indian Army engineers of Trishakti Corps constructed a 150 feet suspension bridge in North Sikkim to re-connect the border villages which got cutoff due to continued heavy rains, giving respite to the locales living in the cut off locations.

Working under challenging conditions, the army engineers reaffirmed their technical proficiency by  launching the foot suspension bridge over waters flowing at speed over 20 knots in less than 48 hours! The bridge will now pave the way to re-establish connectivity to those areas and facilitate move of people and provision of relief material to the locales inhabiting the area. 

Indian Army remains steadfast in its commitment to ensure safety & wellbeing of the people living the border areas.
