75 Uttarakhand bridges found 'unsafe', Pauri tops list with 15

After last year's Morbi suspension bridge collapse in Gujarat, the Uttarakhand government had ordered a safety audit of the state's bridges in November 2022 and 35 were deemed "unsafe". Significantly, in the latest safety audit this month, the number of "unsafe" bridges - both in rural and urban areas - has gone up to 75, with 15 in Pauri district alone.
