The Deputy Commissioner, Noklak, P Mono Khiamniungan has informed that temporary restoration of Lein Bridge located along the Noklak-Panso Road via Lengnyu/Tsuwao is completed and opened for vehicular movement.

The circular stated that the bridge is presently motor-able for light vehicles only. All commuters, vehicle owners and drivers have been advised to maintain a safe speed, avoid overloading and use the bridge with due caution and safety measures.

Further, the DC requested the public to extend their co-operation and comply with the advisory in the interest of safety and disaster risk reduction.
