New Delhi, March 5 : The connectivity to 13 border villages in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, which were cut off after the floods last month, have been restored, the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) said on Friday.
The BRO has constructed a 200 feet Bailey bridge in Reini village on the Joshimat-Malari road across the Rishiganga river, ensuring unhindered connectivity to the remote villages in the area.
The flash floods in Rishiganga river on February 7 had washed away a 90m bridge near Reini village.
“This bridge was the only link to the Niti border in Chamoli district. The floods had also washed away a hydro electric plant located at the same site, trapping more than 200 workers of the hydro electric plant in the inundation,” an official statement said.
