Hello Steemian's

| | - | Assalam Alaikum friends. How are you? I hope you are all well. I am here to participate in this wonderful contest of WORLD OF XPILAR community in which I have tried to make a great post and share it. I live in Punjab province of Pakistan and our city name is Bhakkar and about 40 km from Bhakkar there is a city called Dera Ismail Khan which is located in another province, which is Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. While going there, we have to cross a river and the name of this river is Sindh. Friends, I went with my friend to the city which I mentioned to you as Dera Ismail Khan for a test. During this travel, I would like to share with you about the bridge over the river. ![IMG_20240804_140351.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRNqq2XkUiyuAwdXcQjqVML35Hx8iY1SBDYx1Eei5BhCv/IMG_20240804_140351.jpg) ^Bridge It was built about 60 years ago and the engineers were imported from China. These Chinese engineers built it very skillfully. The bridge is quite long. The special thing about this bridge is that it connects the two provinces. On its left side is the province of Punjab and on its left side is the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Dera Ismail Khan area begins. What will surprise you is that it has expired for the last 15 years. But the government of Pakistan has not taken any notice of it and people are walking on it as if it is brand new. ![IMG_20240804_140343.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQxV4iAuuJDpNuxDKyQVV76BRNbBYyEweh4T6SrYaCsbM/IMG_20240804_140343.jpg) ^🥹 Two or three years ago, another bridge to connect district Bakhar and Dera Ismail Khan, built by Pakistani engineers, collapsed after just six months and people lost faith in this bridge. People trust this Expiry Bridge, which was built by Chinese engineers. This is a question mark for Pakistani engineers. In the past years, some tourists from Europe passed through here, so they refused to cross this bridge and used a boat to go to another area. ![IMG_20240804_140324.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNd6PWoNEHkmWFuvfXV23TxTYJxvWc6wPpLPYDS4EYXrZ/IMG_20240804_140324.jpg) ^{I captured these images while traveling} It is a strange thing that Pakistanis pass through here in thousands, which Europeans do not trust. I also cross this bridge and become Dera Ismail because I do not have another way. ![IMG_20240804_140337.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQ1Mp3Ckg1bUGjzmuTYbY6M5muzFUwZchAy8vgkTXGSbJ/IMG_20240804_140337.jpg) ^{Me with my Freind} I know there is nothing interesting in the post. But there is definitely a question mark ?? God forbid, who will be responsible if there is any damage due to this expired bridge. Will the government be responsible for this or the people themselves who know that it is fully expired and still pass through here? Or the engineers who built the replacement bridge that collapsed in six months. | Pictures are Captured by my Device| | - | ![A5tMjLhTTnj4UJ3Q17DFR9PmiB5HnomwsPZ1BrfGqKbjddgttkCqUz3foUJ5T4eRJ1fukx8Kur7jwre68odQ4RH5yL3Kq8DE46LSycAn3mVcQE24aNYouRrUq5WXyX...STEKqW1mmjDeL5czruNG5Ve9CH5cePdRMDEs6s2TL5KmcRqmfTNgsdMgVdDKdeTxMv5zhc4rbHvuhxmWxTSzYoUpsLNzjpupPE9YVFj6U6fiEBWesneFnsqjtr.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRsJKf2r9DWRdqqiCgFRUu5YUjJBJQDYwV131Y9fgbQ7K/A5tMjLhTTnj4UJ3Q17DFR9PmiB5HnomwsPZ1BrfGqKbjddgttkCqUz3foUJ5T4eRJ1fukx8Kur7jwre68odQ4RH5yL3Kq8DE46LSycAn3mVcQE24aNYouRrUq5WXyX...STEKqW1mmjDeL5czruNG5Ve9CH5cePdRMDEs6s2TL5KmcRqmfTNgsdMgVdDKdeTxMv5zhc4rbHvuhxmWxTSzYoUpsLNzjpupPE9YVFj6U6fiEBWesneFnsqjtr.png) @uzma4882 , @samavia-doll , @uduak3287 you are invited.
