A video circulating on social media shows a suspected bomb blast on top the iconic Coronation Bridge in North Bengal. A truck was blown up at the historic British-era infrastructure in Kalimpong on Thursday morning.

A 22-km stretch known as the Chicken’s Neck Corridor connects the Northeast region with the rest of India. While on one side of this corridor is Bangladesh, on the other side is Nepal, making it strategically important. On this narrow corridor lies the Coronation Bridge, also known as the Sevoke Bridge, over the Teesta river.

According to initial reports, the blast was part of movie shoot, for which no prior permission was taken or granted, Superintendent of Police, Kalimpong District, Aparajita Rai told EastMojo.
