Paddy's Bridge  

माउंट आबू ( नि सं ) ब्रिटिश काल के दौरान सेंट मैरी स्कूल जाने वाले मार्ग पर आवाजाही के लिए पेडिज ब्रिज का निर्माण किया गया था। क्योंकि इस ब्रिज के माध्यम से माउंट आबू के सबसे बड़े जलाशय लोअर कोदरा डैम तक जाने का मार्ग यहीं से गुजरता है । ब्रिटिश काल के दौरान यहां पर स्कूल संचालित की जाती थी जो अब सेंट मेरी स्कूल के नाम से जानी जाती है। वहीं इसी के पास सीता वन कच्ची बस्ती स्थित है। यहां के लोग भी इस ब्रिज से ही आवाजाही करते हैं और बारिश के समय यह ब्रिज पानी में डूब जाता है। जिसकी वजह से लोगों को परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ता है। ऐसे में नगरपालिका माउंट आबू ने इस ब्रिज के कायाकल्प का बीड़ा उठाया और शनिवार को इस कार्य का विधिवत शिलान्यास किया गया। शिलान्यास कार्यक्रम के दौरान नगरपालिका अध्यक्ष सुरेश थिंगर , भवन निर्माण समिति के अध्यक्ष सुनील आचार्य, भाजपा मंडल अध्यक्ष ईश्वरचंद्र डागा ने भूमि पूजन कर कार्य की विधिवत शुरुआत की। इस मौके पर कई गणमान्य लोग मौजूद रहे।

During the British period, they constructed the Paddy Bridge in Mount Abu (Ni) for movement on the route leading to St. Mary's School. Because through this bridge, the route to Mount Abu, the largest reservoir of Mount Abu, passes here. During the British period, the school was run here which is now known as St. Mary's School. Sita Forest Kutchi Basti is located near it. People here also move from this bridge itself and during the rains, this bridge sinks in water. Because of this people have to face trouble. In such a situation, the municipal Mount Abu undertook the rejuvenation of this bridge and on Saturday, they duly laid the work. Municipal Chairman Suresh Thinger, Building Construction Committee President Sunil Acharya, and BJP Divisional President Ishwar Chandra Daga duly started the work by doing Bhoomi Pujan during the foundation stone laying program. Many dignitaries were present on this occasion.

"Paddy's Bridge" Mount Abu

Old “Paddy’s Bridge”. On a road that has St.Mary’s at the other end

 Old “Paddy’s Bridge”

“Around the corner lies Old “Paddy’s Bridge”. On a road that has St.Mary’s at the other end
Do not stand at my bridge and Gape. I’m there, as I’ve always been.

I’m a study bridge and have always been, I’m the memory of a thousand boys,

I’m an inspiration to all who have traversed over me to the gates of St.Mary’s,

I’m remembered every monsoon season with awe and thrill, I inspire the boys

An awakening that awakens when the monsoon waters have their fill

Do not stand and gape at me, there will be changes, I may not be there,

I’ll live on in the hearts of all the boys, who have lovingly looked down at me.

Paddy’s Bridge has been in the local news this last whole week, On the 19thSaturday,2006 the bridge was in spate and the boys had to hoof it over the hill to the new check post to avoid being washed away by the overflow from the dam and the incessant rain. Never in the history of St.Mary’s have the day scholars had so many non-instructional working days as they have had this year? The local authorities banned the local day scholars from using the road as it posed a great hazard to the student’s life. The local authorities finally swung into action on the 25th by putting up temporary barricades on either side of Paddy’s bridge and putting some meshing on the sides of the bridge. It looks like the ban on four-wheelers and heavy traffic will continue to be in force as long as it is raining heavily. Regular school commenced on the 25th of August, 2006.
