Over 300 security guards performed a load test on a new foot overbridge. Engineers inspected the bridge for structural integrity and signs of corrosion. The 91-foot-long bridge will carry thousands of devotees to the Nagchandreshwar temple. Authorities recommend a maximum of 300 devotees use the bridge simultaneously. The bridge was constructed in 2022 and passed its recent safety inspection.
