While the townspeople applauded the army for achieving such an amazing feat, the Internet was also all praises for the men in uniform.
Only Indian army can do this.

जय हिन्द की सेना 🙏
The Maitri Bridge is now open to the public and it will connect villages such as Stok, Chchot, Choglamsar, and so on.
When something needs to be done right get the army to do it.
