The district government has closed the only bridge across the Shiyom River that connects Manigong to the rest of the state at BB Camp in Shi-Yomi district for renovation. The decision was made because the safety of the bridge was in danger due to the loosening of a high tension nut bolt that connected the suspender and the bridge girder.
Traffic has been fully stopped as the Border Roads Organization begins the maintenance. Unaware of the directive, passengers on both sides of the bridge were forced to abandon their cars. The commuters went on to say that the bridge had been in poor shape for a while and that the authorities had only taken action when things got dangerous. They urged the BRO officials to open the bridge for travelers as soon as possible and to begin the maintenance work on a war footing. For the residents of Manigong and Pidi circles, this bridge is their lifeline. People are having a great deal of problems because to its maintenance closure. Manigong Circle is situated close to the boundary between China and India.
