Pachey Khola bridge in precarious condition

Letter:

I want to draw the attention of the authorities regarding the wretched condition of State Highway bridge at Pachey khola between Pakyong and Mamring in East Sikkim. The bridge is the only way to connect the area with other parts of the state and its condition is not so strong to support heavy vehicles to pass through. In view of the bridge collapse at Rangchang, North Sikkim last year, concerned authorities should take this issue very seriously and take strong initiatives as soon as possible to avert another catastrophe at the earliest.
