Abohar, January 4

After a 10-year-long wait, the Asafwala bridge was finally renovated giving relief to hundreds of villagers.

The bridge on the Asafwala drain on the Abohar-Kandhwala Amarkot road had been damaged for the last 10 years. The issue was also raised before then Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who visited flood-affected areas in 2014, but to no avail.

About a month ago, when SDM Poonam Singh inspected some of the damaged bridges, she was told that hundreds of vehicles passed through 32 damaged bridges in the Abohar subdivision. The officials of the Drainage, Irrigation, PWD and the Punjab Mandi Board had cited fund crunch. However, regular monitoring has now resulted in the renovation of the bridge. The residents said the renovation would help in preventing mishaps.
