The Bailey bridge over Kansama Canal in Bandarban's Rowangchhari upazila collapsed under the weight of a truck “overloaded” with sand on Sunday, snapping road communications between the district town and the upazila. The 45-metre bridge had the capacity of vehicles weighing just five tonnes but trucks with heavier loads were using the bridge. Photo: Sanjay Kumar Barua
