MIANWALI The century-old Kalabagh railway bridge over river Indus has been closed to traffic owing to its dilapidated condition and frequent fatal accidents occurring there.

The bridge was actually constructed to connect Tank and Bannu towns of the NWFP to Punjab through a narrow-gauge rail track. The rail service was closed over a decade back and the bridge was being used for vehicular traffic.

However, lack of maintenance had turned the bridge into a virtual death trap for those who had no other means to cross the river to reach Mari-Indus or Iskandarabad. The daily commuters crossing the bridge mostly included residents of Kalabagh town employed in factories at Iskandarabad, and the students who had to reach their schools and colleges across the Indus.
