A small bridge under construction in East Champaran district collapsed on Sunday, marking the third such incident in Bihar in less than a week. Fortunately, no casualties were reported. The 16-meter-long bridge, being built at a cost of ₹1.5 crore, was meant to connect Amwa village to other areas. An inquiry has been ordered, and strict action will be taken against those found guilty. The exact cause of the collapse is unknown, but locals had reportedly objected to certain pillars' construction. Senior officials have reached the site, and a detailed report is awaited. This incident raises concerns about the quality of construction and oversight in the state.
