Officials stated that the span was brought down in a carefully planned operation under the supervision of technical experts and the appointed contractor, with all prescribed safety protocols strictly followed throughout the process.
The demolition was closely monitored at every stage to ensure compliance with engineering and safety standards. Authorities confirmed that the span was dismantled without any untoward incident.
