licking selfies on the picturesque Domuhani bridge in Sonari will not be risky anymore.
Acting on the directive of East Singhbhum deputy commissioner Amit Kumar, Jusco has started to install a welded mesh on the median of the 252-metre long bridge.
“The mesh is being erected in view of the safety of visitors who sometimes climb on to the median of the bridge (nearly a metre in width) to click selfies. The mesh will prevent someone from falling into the river through the gap in the median,” executive engineer in Jusco’s road construction department (Jamshedpur division) N. Sahay said.
In February 2018, 13-year-old Mohammed Tanzir, a resident of Azadnagar, died after falling into the river while clicking a selfie on the bridge.
