Part of an unfinished bridge collapsed in the state of Bihar. More than $208 million was spent on its construction.
Something is wrong with the Indians with this Aguvani-Sultanganj bridge! It was designed to connect between Khagaria and Bhagalpur districts, but was already partially collapsed in November 2022 during a storm. And here is a new emergency. Cracks formed on the 206-meter bridge, and its front part between supports 2 and 3, without any additional impact, collapsed on June 4 in front of eyewitnesses.
Nothing is known about the casualties yet. It is reported that a commission will be created that will investigate the causes of the bridge collapse. They promise to punish the culprits.
Meanwhile, bridges in India are a sore subject. And it is not always possible to do without casualties. So, in October 2022, over 150 people who came to the Festival of Lights died. A bridge over the Machha River in the western Indian state of Gujarat could not withstand the massive crowd of people and collapsed due to overload.
It is noteworthy that the structure was under repair for a long time and was opened several days before the holiday.
