The bridges serve inhabitants’ travelling demand and transportation of commodities in disadvantaged districts.
Benefactors paid for materials to build the bridges and locals built the bridge without the wage while local administrations operated the contruction, hence, the cost of each bridge was reportedly half of others.
More than 100 local inhabitants and members of army forces joined hand to build a bridge within 15 to 30 days.
