• Key facts about the Dhola-Sadiya Bridge:

• It is India's longest river bridge at 9.15 kilometers (5.69 miles) in length

• Inaugurated on May 26, 2017

• Named after Dr. Bhupen Hazarika, a renowned artist from Assam

• It significantly reduces travel time between Assam and Arunachal Pradesh

• The bridge is built over the Lohit River, which is part of the larger Brahmaputra River System

• It has strategic importance as it improves connectivity to the northeastern border regions of India

• The Brahmaputra River System is one of India's major river systems, originating in Tibet (where it's known as the Tsangpo), flowing through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam before entering Bangladesh (where it's called Jamuna) and eventually merging with the Ganges to empty into the Bay of Bengal.
