Jammu, Feb 13 (PTI) Two truck drivers were injured when a vital bridge over a rivulet collapsed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Reasi district, officials said on Monday.

Both the trucks fell into the stream, resulting in injuries to their drivers – Amjid Khan and Shoukat Ali of Rajouri.

They have been admitted to a hospital, the officials said, adding that a case was registered.

The officials added that a team of officers visited the site to take stock of the damage and ensure early restoration of the bridge.
