    This bridge from Assam is "Looking Like a Wow", CM Himanta Biswa Sarma agrees
    Built-in 1987 over the Brahmaputra, Kolia Bhomora Setu joins Kaliabor in Nagaon District on the south bank of the river...

    Digital Desk: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma is the latest entrant to the "just looking like a wow" parade. Using the now-viral caption, Mr Sarma on Sunday shared amazing pictures of the Kolia Bhomora Setu in Tezpur, Assam.

    Talking to X, CM Sarma wrote, "So beautiful, So Elegant, Just Looking Like a WOW!”

    Sharing another photo of the bridge, he said, "The mighty Himalayas visible on a winter morning from Kolia Bhomora Setu, Tezpur. Low AQI & a pollution-free environment enable this crystal clear view, captured by Gautam Deka, of the magnificent mountain range located near the Arunachal-Tibet border."



    Built-in 1987 over the Brahmaputra, Kolia Bhomora Setu joins Kaliabor in Nagaon District on the south bank of the river with Tezpur in Sonitpur district on the northern bank.

    The bridge has been named after the Assamese General, Kalia Bhomora Phukan.

    The bridge, which is only 3 kilometres long, plays a key role in linking the seven Northeastern states to the rest of the nation.

    Mr Sarma used the viral 'Just like a wow' trend to draw attention to the bridge's beauty. This is a widespread trend that is gaining popularity among politicians as well as celebrities and athletes.

    A video of Jasmeen Kaur, a woman, enthusiastically selling salwar suits on Instagram was the beginning of it all. In the video, Kaur describes the outfits as "just looking like a wow" multiple times. Her infectious enthusiasm and energy caused the video to go viral very fast.
