Raju Bista Urges Permanent Balashan Bridge at Dudhey After Temporary Bridge Washed Away
Darjeeling MP and BJP National Spokesperson Raju Bista, along with the District Magistrate and senior officials, visited areas of Darjeeling district hit by heavy rainfall on the night of 18-19 June 2026. The downpour triggered landslides and minor flood-like situations in several parts of the district.
During the inspection, Bista assessed the site at Dudhey where the temporary Hume Pipe bridge on State Highway 12 over the Balashan River was washed away. He stressed that the Balashan Bridge is vital as it serves as the main link on SH-12 connecting the entire Mirik valley to Siliguri and lies along the strategically sensitive Indo-Nepal border region. Restoring permanent connectivity there is extremely critical.
Bista recalled that the original Balashan Bridge was washed away on 5 October 2025 and the Trinamool Congress government had built a temporary Hume Pipe bridge, which has now collapsed again due to the latest rainfall. He expressed concern that temporary structures risk repeated damage during the monsoon, which has only just begun and is expected to intensify.
He has requested West Bengal Chief Minister Sh. Suvendu Adhikari to take up construction of a permanent Balashan Bridge at Dudhey for early restoration of normal connectivity. Bista also sought additional resources including JCBs, bulldozers, personnel, and deployment of SDRF/NDRF units across Darjeeling hills, Terai, and Dooars for quick response.
The district administration has meanwhile created alternative routes for heavy and passenger vehicles to ensure connectivity and public safety. Bista assured that the safety and well-being of the people remains the top priority for the BJP government and that the situation will be monitored round the clock
