The Indian Army and Indian Navy, in partnership with Garden Reach Shipyard and Engineers, transported 10 additional extra-wide bridges to Sri Lanka aboard INS Gharial under Operation ‘Sagarbandhu’.
Indian Army Engineers, in close coordination with the Sri Lankan Road Development Authority, are conducting detailed damage assessments of seven critical bridge sites across the Central, Uva and Sabaragamuwa Provinces to restore connectivity.
Additional extra-wide Bailey Bridges will be launched at these locations to re-establish vital lines of communication, which was disrupted by cyclone Ditwah in November last year.
