Imphal, April 27 2013 :
A bridge which serves as a crucial link for more than 10 villages on the way between Zalenbung and Sana Keithel in Ukhrul Assembly constituency is facing a possibility of complete break down after it was washed down by a strong current of Ihang river during last monsoon season.
If the river banks which support the bridge are not repaired before the onset of monsoon season, the bridge is feared to get washed away or break down completely in the next downpour which would cut off all the ten villages, said a press release issued by Sana Keithel ex-headman Silas Longvah.
It also appealed to the authority to repair the river banks as well as the bridge before the onset of monsoon season.
