Indias longest river bridge to be inaugurated by PM Modi on 26 May | Oneindia News

 

Dhola-Sadiya, India's longest bridge over the Brahmaputra river will be inaugurated in Assam close to the border with China on May 26 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The bridge is capable of withstanding the weight of a 60-tonne battle tank. It is 9.15-km-long, 3.55 km longer than the Bandra-Worli sea link in Mumbai, making it the longest bridge in India. The bridge is seen as an attempt by India to shore up its defence requirements along the Sino-Indian border particularly in the Northeast besides providing easy access to the people of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam with air and rail connectivity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to OneIndia News Channel for latest updates on movies and related videos.
