Under construction for 9 years, Aguwani-Sultanganj bridge slab collapses in Bihar for 3rd time

A section of an under-construction bridge over the Ganga collapsed in Bihar on Saturday, officials said. Khagaria's District Magistrate Amit Kumar Pandey said that a slab of the Aguwani-Sultanganj bridge collapsed around 8 am.

"I must tell one thing the entire structure of the under-construction bridge, which is faulty, is supposed to be dismantled by the contractor. The construction work has already been stopped there. The contractor is dismantling the structure at the direction of the Patna High Court," he said.

No casualty was reported in the incident, he said. Last year, four-five pillars of the bridge collapsed, causing the entire section to collapse into the river. A slew of bridges have collapsed in the state over the last few months, raising questions over the quality of construction.
