CHANDIGARH, SEP 1

After flash floods and torrential rains washed away a rail bridge on the Chakki river in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, the Army was called in by the civil administration to prevent the at-risk road traffic bridge adjacent to it.

On August 20, significant sections of the railway bridge on Chakki River over the Pathankot-Jogindernagar rail route collapsed after repeated flash floods. The gushing waters caused severe erosion of the piers at the Chakki Bridge leading to its collapse. As the rail bridge was washed away, the fury of the water accelerated soil erosion towards the piers of the adjacent 500m roadway bridge. The only way to protect the road bridge which is the major link road to Dharamsala from Pathankot was to divert the forceful waters.

At the request of the District Administration of Kangra, the Rising Star Corps mobilized a column of heavy earth moving equipment in record time and immediately commenced the operation for diversion of the waters of the Chakki River and prevent further erosion. Civil equipment of NHAI were also operated by the Army personnel to augment the diversion efforts. Simultaneously, the army engineers secured the piers of the road bridge using ingenious methods planned and executed over a distance of almost 1,000m. More than 20 heavy earth moving equipment working round the clock for 96 hours, concentrating all the efforts and maximising their output, ensured that the Chakki River Bridge was made safe. The efforts were also in coordination with NHAI.

The untiring efforts of the Rising Star Corps in torrential currents exceeding 8 knots through deep channels in the Chakki River ensured that a disaster was avoided and the lifeline of the Kangra district and a strategically important bridge connecting Punjab to Leh was made safe.
