Bihar Launches Free Ferry Service After Beli Bridge Closure

The Beli Bridge, a key crossing in Bihar, was closed earlier this week, prompting authorities to act swiftly. In response, a free ferry service has been launched to ensure uninterrupted movement for residents and traders. The service will operate daily from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with large vessels scheduled to make multiple crossings each hour. Officials say the initiative aims to mitigate traffic congestion and provide a reliable alternative during the bridge’s maintenance period. Commuters are advised to check the ferry timetable posted at the departure points for the most up‑to‑date information.
