Srinagar, Jun 22: The much-anticipated Gandbal Srinagar bridge, which was the site of a tragic incident in April this year, is scheduled to be completed and opened to the public in the first week of July, according to officials.
The construction of the Gandbal bridge is progressing rapidly and is on track for completion by early July, KNO reported quoting an official from R&B department.
This bridge garnered significant attention in April when a boat capsized in the Jhelum River, resulting in the deaths of eight people, with one person still missing.
