“Learn the skill of speedy construction of foot-over bridges from the Army and the DMRC," the court told the Delhi government while hearing a PIL filed by the Jangpura resident welfare association.

A high court bench was referring to the time of two-three days the army had taken to build a bridge outside a Commonwealth Games venue after the one built by the PWD collapsed.
