In a major feat, the Madras Engineers Group of the Indian Army built a 190-foot-long bridge amid the Wayanad landslide tragedy in just 16 hours to speed up the relief work. The bridge, which has a capacity of 24 tons, has been built under the supervision and efforts of Major Seeta in Wayanad.
Accordingly, the Madras Engineers Group started building a bridge on July 31 at 9 pm. Within 16 hours i.e., at 5:30 pm on August 1, the bridge was completed.
