Watch: Indian Army troops, BRO operate on massive scale to reconnect North Sikkim

Sikkim: After flash floods caused large-scale destruction in Sikkim, troops of the Indian Army, along with Border Road Organisation (BRO) and the assistance of civil administration and local residents, are undertaking operations on a massive scale to reconnect North Sikkim.
As immediate relief to restore connectivity up to Chungthang via alternate route Mangan-Sanklang-Theng-Chungthang, troops of Trishakti Corps are undertaking construction of Bailey Bridge at Mangan-Sanklang Crossing, 200 mts upstream of where a bamboo bridge and zip line was constructed earlier. However, the width of the river has increased to 600 ft and water running along two channels with a 160-ft island in between. A decision was therefore taken to construct two separate bridges. Working on a war footing, the Army finished construction of the 150-ft first bridge on 22 October. The second bridge is likely to be completed by 27 October, according to the defence PRO.
