According to India Today, the bridge was constructed with a budget of over Rs 1,700 crore.
As per the information, the 206-meter-long bridge had developed cracks. The front part of the bridge between pillars no 2 and 3 collapsed.
Bihar LoP Vijay Kumar Sinha slamming the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, said, “There’s a tradition of seeking commissions. It is a consequence of his mentality of political instability that there’s administrative anarchy and corruption. The system is collapsing but they are talking about opposition unity.”
A similar case happened in December 2022 when a portion of a bridge built across the Burhi Gandak river in Bihar’s Begusarai collapsed.
