PATNA: A bridge connecting Pirpainty Dominia Chowk and Babupur by way of Bakharpur highway in Pirpainty block, Bihar, collapsed early on Friday, inflicting important disruptions to highway site visitors.
In response to this incident, the district administration has restricted two-wheeler riders and pedestrians from crossing any bridges resulting from rising floodwaters. Bhagalpur District Justice of the Peace Nawal Kishor Choudhary has ordered barricades on either side of the collapsed highway to make sure security.
This collapse follows a troubling pattern, with over a dozen bridges and causeways failing in a number of Bihar districts not too long ago.
Incidents have been reported in Siwan, Saran, Madhubani, Araria, East Champaran, and Kishanganj districts over the previous two months.
A number of weeks in the past, a portion of a bailey bridge over the Barnar river in Jamui district tilted to 1 aspect. Thankfully, no accidents have been reported.
Chief minister Nitish Kumar had directed officers to conduct a survey of all previous bridges within the state to determine these needing pressing restore.
