There are no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A portion of an under-construction bridge collapsed in Bihar’ Araria today. The concrete bridge over the Bakra River, built after spending crores, came apart in seconds.<\/p>\n

Visuals showed the bridge, over the fast-flowing river, tilted on one side and a crowd gathered on the banks near the bridge, recording the moment it collapsed.<\/p>\n

There are no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n

The bridge was constructed to ease the commute between Kursakanta and Sikti in the Araria district of Bihar. Built at Rs 12 crore, the bridge collapsed before its inauguration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sikti MLA Vijay Kumar told ANI, “The bridge has collapsed due to negligence by the construction company’s owner. We demand that the administration should conduct an investigation.”<\/p>\n

The collapsed portion washed away within seconds and the people started running toward safety. In another video, a few people are standing dangerously close to the edge of the remaining portion of the bride. While many people are standing under it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A major part of the collapsed portion was built over the river. The section built on the banks of the Bakra River remains intact.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In March this year, one person was killed and several others were trapped after 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 in the morning, prompting urgent rescue efforts by local authorities and volunteers.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the bridge was being built at a cost of\u00a0\u20b9\u00a0984 crore over the river Kosi. 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
