The Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam limited (UJVNl) successfully accomplished the task of constructing a bridge on the river Yamuna at Dakpathar. The UJVNl is constructing the 40-meter double-lane bridge at an estimated cost of Rs2 crore. The old bridge here collapsed in August 2005 and the local population is facing problem as it had to cover longer distance to cross the river. The Managing Director of UJVNl J P Patel congratulated the officers and employees of the UJVNl for the task. He said the launching (it involves putting span across the two ends) is the most important part in the construction of the bridge. Patel said that on completion of the bridge a population of 30,000 would be benefited.
