Grim Race Against Time In India,
CAPRICE OF THE GANGES
Calcutta.
An army of 11,000 engineers and Labourers are working day and night to save the Hardinge Bridge on the Eastern Bengal Railway at Sura, between Siliguri and Dar- jeeling, from being wrecked by the caprices of the Ganges.
They are engaged in a desperate race against time..
The bridge-longest in India and fifth longest in the world — is threatened by the river seeking to find its way back to the old chan- nel along which it flowed 66 years ago.
This channel passes behind the abutment of the bridge or the right bank.
Last year floods breached the bank, which had been built up to guide the river's erratic course through the arches of the bridge.
The work of repairing the breach! is expected to cost about £1,000,000.) It must be finished by June 15 be fore the coming of the monsoon, or the bridge will be in grave danger] of demolition when the Ganges: floods in July, August September.
