Recently, a lawyer filed a petition in the Supreme Court highlighting over 10 bridge collapses across Bihar since 2022 while seeking a structural audit of recently completed, under-construction and old bridges in the State.
Key Points
- The petition urged the court to set up an expert committee to identify unsafe bridges in the State.
- The Bridges which have collapsed were in districts of Siwan, Saran, Madhubani, Araria, East Champaran and Kishanganj. The issue is grave as Bihar was a flood-prone State.
