    He was speaking to reporters after inspecting the flood-like situation in the district. The pier of the bridge has developed cracks and posed a danger to motorists, so it would be razed down once the waters recede, the Minister said.

    The new bridge adjacent to the old one would be used as a two-way facility he added. It may be recalled that the old bridge was built in the 1920s.
