Incessant rains in the last two days has once more swept away the temporary makeshift bridge build across Chakpi River at Chakpikrong after the RCC Bridge has been swept away by a wild flood on August 31 this year, early morning today.
The RCC Bridge was first constructed in 1966 by a Calcutta based company and in the same year the water level reached the lower portion of the Bridge. Again in 1987 the Bridge was shaken due to flood. But this year in August the Bridge was swept away by flood due to incessant rain. The temporary makeshift Bridge was the only means to connect people at both side of the river.
