The 53km bamboo bridge built across the Na Dihing river by villagers of Tengapani and named after Assam’s singing sensation Zubeen Garg will be inaugurated by the singer himself at Tengapani-Thepabari at 10am on Saturday.
Bulbul Maut, the chief convener of the Zubeen Garg Bridge Inauguration Committee, told The Telegraph on Thursday afternoon over phone, “We hope that with the inauguration of the bridge, the Assam government will start developing the area as a tourist spot. Like Maguri-Motapung Beel, Borbeel bridge here is also famous for migratory birds. Dolphins, too, are often seen swimming in the Na Dihing. The nearest Kumseng reserve forest is rich in flora and fauna. The area, which falls under Doomdooma subdivision of Kakopathar block, is also famous for lemon and rice sold out of the state.”
