The fire not only burnt the advertisement poster and banners to ashes but also damaged fiber attached to the bridge.
According to eye-witnesses, a lot of people use the bridge to cross the road but the fire erupted suddenly and those behind it could not be spotted.
Police said further investigation into the matter was underway.
On the other hand, a video surfaced online, in which activists of PML-N, while holding a rally on the streets of Ferozwala, had painted a PTI flag on donkeys carrying lotas as they chanted slogans against the party leadership and against political turncoats.
