Lalmonirhat, Sept 23 (UNB) – Nearly 90 years past its expiry date, the Teesta Rail Bridge, connecting Lalmonirhat and Kurigram, continues to be in operation with its pitiable state.   The historic bridge, a shell of its former self, is crossed every day by 18 trains.   Built in 1834 by the Northern Bengal State Railway to connect Lalmonirhat and Kurigram, the 2,110 feet bridge was supposed to be in operation for 100 years.   It has been nearly two centuries since then but railway’s Lalmonirhat Divisional Manager Muhammad Shafiqur Rahman insisted that the bridge is not risky yet.
