As part of the Operation Sagar Bandhu, the Indian Army Engineers have successfully constructed the third Bailey bridge, which measures 120 feet at 15 kilometres on the B-429 highway in Sri Lanka.
This achievement follows the earlier launch of two Bailey bridges in the Jaffna and Kandy regions. The bridge located in the central province reconnects the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts, restoring a critical lifeline that had remained disrupted for over a month following the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah.
The Indian Army’s deployment of engineering expertise and resources highlighted the spirit of cooperation and solidarity during times of natural calamity.
