The road connectivity was affected after an 80-feet bailey bridge over Siang River, with a dumper on the structure, collapsed on June 19, as a result of which border areas like Tuting subdivision were completely cut-off, Taki said.

Personnel of BRO's Project Brahmank promptly took up construction of a diversion road and restored the connectivity, he added.
