Bagrakote, 14th January: The district administration has imposed a ban on taking photos and videos at the viral Loop Bridge in Bagrakote, located in the Dooars region. On Monday, the Kalimpong District Magistrate issued this directive regarding the bridge.
According to the instructions, vehicles are not allowed to stop within 500 meters before and after the bridge. Additionally, stopping vehicles to take photographs is strictly prohibited. The notice clearly states that these measures are being implemented for passenger safety.
