Bridge diversion washed away; Telkoi disconnected
Orissa POST
|June 23, 2025
The diversion road of the under-construction Baunsajora bridge on the Kanjipani-Kuntala road in Telkoi block of Keonjhar district was washed away Sunday, disrupting traffic throughout the day and severing communication between Telkoi and Jagmohanpur on National Highway 49.
According to sources, heavy rainfall over the past two days caused the collapse of the diversion road near Lokanathpur village. The bridge, being built by the Public Works department (PWD), could not be repaired due to the high flow of water.
As a result, access to Jagmohanpur, Deogarh, Sambalpur and Rourkela has been cut off. More than 20 villages in Telkoi block, including Chhamunda, Binjabahal and areas under Jagamohanpur panchayat, have been disconnected from the block headquarters, affecting emergency services.
