India's longest road-rail bridge can bear battle tanks, fighter jets
India on Tuesday opened its longest rail-road bridge in Assam which has been designed to withstand the weight of India's heaviest 60-tonne battle tanks and landing of fighter jets. Bogibeel bridge reduces rail journey from Dibrugarh to Arunachal Pradesh's capital Itanagar by over 700 km. The road connection would also boost the dispatch of forces to Arunachal, which borders China.
