Empress Bridge


A century-old Empress Bridge over Sutlej River has come of age. Once a mighty river, Sutlej now flows very occassionally due to India claiming over it complete rights since the signing of Indus Basin Treaty (1960). The economy and ecology of Bahawalpur remians under grave threat if enough water does not flow down the bridge. This railway bridge connects country's South with its North.
