Bailey bridge collapses in Manipur’s Churachandpur district

Imphal: A 180-feet-long Bailey bridge in Manipur’s Churachandpur district, which connects Manipur with Mizoram, collapsed on Monday.

As per reports, the bridge, which is the lifeline of the area, had two goods-laden heavy trucks on it when it collapsed. However, no casualty was reported in the accident.

Situated between Khuanggin-Sinzawl village along National Highway 102 B and about 135 km from the district headquarters, the bailey bridge was constructed in 1994. It was recently repaired, as the highway is still under construction.
