"ARMY CALLED IN"...WO!..WO!!..WO!!!! Not For Any Security Issue...But For "CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE"

When the bridge collapses & country's image is at stake, army is called in. Shouldn't the PEOPLE OF INDIA call in the army when the governance of the country is falling????
The foot over-bridge which collapsed outside Jawaharlal Nehru stadium, is expected to be rebuilt within next couple of days with the Army beginning the work.The whole purpose of this bridge being constructed was to connect the parking lot of the stadium,with other side of the street,in Lodhi Road area in south Delhi.

Army on the special request of Delhi government took the charge.
The Army engineers came into action after receiving an SOS from the city Government to construct a Bailey bridge "at the earliest" so that common people could go inside the stadium without any hassle.The Bailey bridge is a portable pre-fabricated truss bridge.
The decision to seek the Army's help was taken at a high-level meeting which found that an alternative plan made by the PWD, for entry of spectators into the stadium from the south side,may create security concerns.

An army engineering regiment (with about 800 to 1,000 men) has started the work for the Bailey bridge
"We will complete the bridge within the timeframe and hand it over to the Games organisers," a colonel-rank officer said.
The decision to ask the Army to construct the bridge was taken keeping in view Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's instruction to Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.
Chandigarh based company P&R infra have already been blacklisted by the government as it brought shame to India's preparation for CWG.
The bridge will now save the spectators from an extra 1 kilometer walk to enter the stadium.
every second of my life,I thank Indian army as they save our nation in any critical situations.This is all taking place because we have very competent engineers in the army and they are known to deliver good stuff on time.
But the sad part of the story is that,the army is called in whenever there is an emergency and quickly forgotten once the job is over.
