Bhupen Hazarika Setu(Dhola-Sadia)

     The longest beam bridge in India so far; inaugurated recently on 27th may 2017 by Prime Minster of India Sri Narendra Modi is 9.15km in length across Lohit river , a tributary Bhrahmaputra and connecting the south of Dhola village in Assam to the north of Sadiya in Arunachal Pradesh. It makes it possible the rapid movement of India's defence assets for the mind following incursions by the Chinese Army .The bridge is designed to withstand a weight of 60 tonne tanks such as Indian Army's Arjun. Since the Sino-Indian war China has disputed India's claim to some parts of Arunachal Pradesh ,making the bride politically and militarily an important asset

   The fall outs of having such a bridge is that less than 2000 people rendered jobless over there in the name of ferry and boats man.The people who became jobless are likely remote and not even have seen the bridge ,so it would be a crushing one for them.The bridge connects upper Assam to eastern Arunachal Pradesh reducing the travelling time by 4 hours and leaving them much closer.
The bridge is named after Bhupan Hazarika the Assamese poet stating that he was born there and the Patriotic People's Front Assam issued a statement saying that the “cultural icon can be identified as a man of assimilation, who connected various big and small communities of the region like a golden thread”. The Arunachal Pradesh Literary Society (APLS) too agreed with this statement.
