The bridge was opened to the public by War Veterans in the presence of Lt Gen YK Joshi, General Officer Commanding ‘Fire and Fury Corps’, in a brief ceremony which was attended by a large number of local Army veterans besides senior Army and civil administration officials.

The spokesman said that the 260 feet Cable Suspension Bridge, which has been built using innovative engineering methods, is the longest Suspension Bridge over the River Indus. It was constructed by the Combat Engineers (Sahas aur Yogyata Regiment) of the ‘Fire & Fury Corps’ in a record time of 40 days, ferrying almost 500 Tons of bridging equipment and construction material.

Symbolising the excellent Civil-Military relations existing in the Leh – Ladakh region, the Bridge, aptly named ‘Maitri Bridge’, has been constructed in the year when the ‘Fire and Fury Corps’ is celebrating 20 years of Kargil Vijay Diwas. Locals of the area thanked the Army for constructing the bridge, which has brought much relief to people of the area.
