On the other hand, the local officials visited the site. The bridge built during the British period could not resist the recent monsoon rains and much of the bridge collapsed because of the heavy rains. As a result, the rail line between Machh and Kolpur was also damaged.
It is worth mentioning that Quetta’s connection to Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was cut off for one week due to the inundation of the railway line in Sibi and Bakhtiarabad.
