This footage was filmed and produced 21 August 2022.

Chakki River Rail Bridge situated on the border of Punjab and Himachal pradesh in India, collapsed due to heavy rains and flash floods. With this, the narrow-gauge train service between Pathankot and Jogindernagar will remain suspended till a new pillar of the bridge is constructed. Daily seven trains used to run between Pathankot and Jogindernagar on the narrow gauge rail line constructed and commissioned by the British in 1928.

The rail line is the lifeline for hundreds of villages located in the Pong Dam wildlife sanctuary, where there are no roads or bus service. The people of these villages used the train service to connect to the district headquarters of Kangra. The 90-year-old railway bridge was weakened following illegal mining in the riverbed. The railway authorities had repeatedly complained regarding the damage being caused to the bridge due to illegal mining.
