Under-construction bridge collapse in Bihar leaves one dead, several trapped
PTC News Desk: Tragedy struck in Bihar's Supaul as an under-construction bridge collapsed, leaving one person dead and numerous others trapped. The bustling construction site near Maricha witnessed chaos and devastation following the collapse, prompting immediate rescue operations by local authorities and volunteers.
Concerns loom as authorities estimate that around 30 workers could still be trapped under the debris, heightening the urgency of the rescue efforts.
The incident draws stark parallels to a similar bridge collapse in Bhagalpur, Bihar, which ignited a contentious debate between the state government and the opposition BJP. The collapse of the four-lane bridge, constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 1,700 crore, echoed the collapse of a house of cards, highlighting the dire need for enhanced safety measures in construction projects.
