BRO restores connectivity to Hawai

The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has restored connectivity to Hawai, the headquarters of remote Anjaw district that remained cut off from the rest of the world following the collapse of Sarti bailey bridge on Hayuliang Changwanti road on December 26 last.
The 48 Border Road Task Force located at Demwe and its subunits at Hayuliang and Changwaniti respectively went into operational mode and a new 140ft bailey bridge was launched and opened for traffic within a record time by December 31 last, official sources informed here today.
The restoration came after the district administration requested the BRO for help and early restoration of road connectivity saying the state governor is expected to visit the district headquarters and Walong in couple of days' time.

The bridge got damaged due to the over loading.
This resulted in excessive stress on the Sarti bailey bridge that got bent from the centre and finally collapsed.
According to reports, a two-year-old child lost his life in the tragic incident in which more than six persons, including the mother of the child, sustained injuries sources added.
