DAR ES SALAAM, April 16 (Xinhua) -- Tanzanian Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa on Wednesday directed the Tanzania National Roads Agency (TANROADS) to conduct regular inspections of all bridges and culverts along major roads to avoid potential damage caused by ongoing rains.

Majaliwa made the order when he inspected renovations of bridges at Matandu and Somanga-Mtama in Kilwa District of the Lindi Region along the Dar es Salaam-Lindi highway, which were swept away by flooding caused by the rains.
