    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is indeed unfortunate. As we all know, the collapse of a bridge is a great inconvenience because one has to cover a long distance, so that he can get to the same place, which would probably be only a short distance away if one were to cross the bridge. I also want to share my Ministry’s frustration with the House that a good number of bridges have collapsed in that area because of overloaded trucks carrying relief food. A bridge may have been designed to carry 20 tons but you find that a truck tries to cross it with a load of 100 tons. Therefore, the bridge is not able to withstand such weight. Nevertheless, I want to assure hon. Members that we will do a survey, especially for the bridges in that part of the country. We appreciate that, due to the nature of the terrain there, bridges are very critical. You can operate on a bad road but if there is no bridge, even that bad road cannot be used. So, I want to assure hon. Members that we will do a survey and see what immediate intervention we can make."
