The recent bout of storms with heavy downpour had not only broken the bridge but has also uprooted several homes in the village.
The lone suspension bridge connecting the village with the other side of the river was swept away by the fast rising water level of the Jiri River.
The committee has appealed to all authorities concerned to look into the plight of the public and do the needful at the earliest.
