The bridge given the name ‘Saino Pool’ connects Uttarey and Sopakha Gaon a village inhabited by nearly five hundred people and a primary school.The bridge also connects Bandukey, Bijuwa gaon and Kunabari village. The bridge has been constructed over Ishang River. ‘Earlier it was a primitive bridge of wooden planks, now it has been made stronger by cementing some of the part and hardwood planks’, Mr. Sherhang said. An opposition party does not always mean blindly opposing the ruling party but can also do some constructive work, he added. The bridge is 100 meter long in length.
