1 Dead, Several Trapped As Under-Construction Bridge Collapses In Bihar

One person was killed and several others trapped as an under-construction bridge collapsed in Bihar’s Supaul. The bustling construction site near Maricha turned into a scene of chaos and devastation after the collapse, prompting urgent rescue efforts by local authorities and volunteers.

Authorities fear that 30 workers could still be trapped under the debris.

According to reports, the bridge was being built at a cost of Rs 984 crore.

The accident bears an uncanny resemblance to the collapse of an under-construction bridge in Bihar’s Bhagalpur, which had sparked a wr of words between the state government and the opposition BJP. The four-lane bridge, built at an estimated cost of Rs 1,700 crore, had come crashing down like a house of cards.
