Imphal, November 08 2020:
Ex-Rajya Sabha MP and former MLA BD Behring has appealed to both the Central and State Governments to build bridges without pillars just like the Sanjenthong bridge along the Imphal-Jiribam road, NH-37 .
He said that if such types of bridges are constructed, it will enable the swift movement of heavy vehicles thereby preventing frequent halting of the highways due to broken bridges.
And it will in turn improve the economy of the State to a great extent.
He further stated that the bailey bridges along the Imphal Jiribam Road cannot bear the load of heavy trucks and it is also difficult to construct slab bridges as it is impossible to construct pillars for the bridges due to the swift current of the river.
