YAZALI, Apr 2: A Bailey bridge over Pai River at Poosa near NEEPCO has been reported partially damaged causing much trouble for commuters travelling between Itanagar and areas under Lower Subansiri district.

According to sources, portions of the steel plates in the bridge have fallen out thus rendering the bridge unfit for heavier vehicles to pass through. As for light vehicles, locals have improvised wooden planks to cover up the damaged portions, so as to enable their passage.The locals however, are allegedly charging a sum of Rs 200 for rendering their service in the passage of light vehicles and also as maintenance fees. Meanwhile, when asked of the same for authentication by this daily, Yazali OC, A Phassang denied any knowledge of such fee collection by the locals.
