Hi. This problem is complex and will involve a detailed morphological modelling for erosion and sediment management. The engineering psolutions consist of directing the flow to the central channel with scientifically designed river training works, selective dredging for channelzation etc.  In addition from engineering point. Of view there seems to be an urgent need to consider the impact of proposed structures like bridges on the river regime at thei planning and design stage supported by numerical modelling, instead of just considering the hydraulic aspects and neglecting morphological aspects as is being done at present. Further any engineering measures  will be insufficient without proper regulatatory measures such as locations where sand mining is to be permitted, a more professional and multidisciplinary institutional set up etc.
