LG Manoj Sinha Inaugurates 150-Foot Bailey Bridge on RambanGool Road

Technical validation will determine the opening of the Army-built replacement for the washed-out Karol–Maitra stretch.

Overview

  • White Knight Corps engineers installed a triple-panel, double-storey, extra-wide reinforced Bailey bridge to reestablish the RambanGool link at the Karol–Maitra section.
  • Officials described the span as a lifeline for roughly 1.5 lakh residents in Ramban, Sangaldan and Gool, ensuring access to supplies, medical aid and emergency services.
  • The structure was launched with support from BRO, NHAI, the Ramban district administration and police after landslides from heavy rains severed the route.
  • Authorities said the bridge is designed for heavy traffic but will open to regular movement only after required checks and certifications.
  • The Army highlighted wider relief efforts across multiple Jammu and Kashmir districts, reporting aid to over 5,000 people and medical camps in remote villages.
