Overview
- White Knight Corps engineers installed a triple-panel, double-storey, extra-wide reinforced Bailey bridge to reestablish the Ramban–Gool 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.
