Heavy rainfall in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district has washed away a Bailey bridge, with footage of the collapse going viral online.
A Bailey bridge in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand, was swept away by heavy rains earlier this week, according to local reports. The temporary structure, used to connect remote villages, collapsed as the river swelled. Video footage of the bridge tumbling into the water has circulated widely on social media, drawing attention to the vulnerability of such bridges during monsoon storms.
