Ruins to roads: BRO rebuilds Pangi valley bridge in 3 days
In a major breakthrough, connectivity on the vital Sansari-Killar-Thirot-Tandi (SKTT) road, running through the remote Pangi valley, has been fully restored after the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) rebuilt the Dharwas bridge — the last damaged stretch of this crucial highway.
Pangi Subdivisional Magistrate Raman Gharsangi confirmed that the bridge was reconstructed by 7 pm on Wednesday, making the road fit for all kinds of vehicular traffic. The bridge had been severely damaged during floods between August 23 and 26, cutting off several villages.
