The bridge which was washed away in the land slide on the Baltal road was rebuilt overnight by the Indian Army in record time. During the Amarnath Yatra, which started from June 30, it was rebuilt in terms of safety and security. On June 30, due to the sudden rise in temperature, two bridges were washed away due to waterlogging in the drains near Kalimata. Due to this the passengers were taking more than 4 hours to reach Baba Dham.
Engineer of the Chinar Corps Regiment of the Indian Army built the bridge.
Bad weather and low light was the challenge
