Ramban (J&K), Oct 15 (ANI): In order to avoid any untoward incident the district administration of J&K’s Ramban district has banned vehicular traffic except three and two wheelers on Bailey bridge over river Chenab. The order has been issued by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of J&K’s Ramban district Nazim Zai Khan. While speaking to ANI, Nazim Zai Khan said, “Keeping in mind the safety of citizens of Ramban district in Jammu and Kashmir the four-wheeler vehicular movement has been temporarily suspended. We will only allow two and three wheeler to move on roads.” “The strength of the bridge is getting lower as it was constructed in 1962. We can’t put anyone’s life at stake so it will be closed temporarily,” DC added. A team of experts is inspecting the bridge to finalise the report for strengthening the bridge and make it traffic worthy. It is felt necessary for safety of public at large, that heavy vehicular traffic needs to stop plying on the said bridge.
