CMC councillor Shubham Komarpant, along with the Assistant Engineer and officials from the Public Works Department (PWD), conducted a joint inspection of the Parvem–Agonda bridge following an accident last night in which a foreign tourist reportedly fell into the river from the bridge.
During the inspection—also attended by local social leaders—the PWD Assistant Engineer assured that safety railings will be installed on both sides of the bridge. Reflective boards will also be placed to improve visibility and prevent similar incidents.
