The DC said the repair work was hampered by the heavy downpour in the previous days. Now, as a temporary measure, after clearing the mud from the bridge, tiling work would be done to make it smooth for commuters, besides reinstalling proper railing. The ongoing repair work will be completed in the next ten days, she added.
