Portion of under-construction bridge collapses in Bihar

PATNA: A portion of an under-construction bridge collapsed in Bihar's Patna district, an official said on Monday. The construction of the 'Bakhtiyarpur-Tajpur Ganga Mahasetu' has been supervised by the Bihar State Road Development Corporation Ltd. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar laid the foundation stone for the construction of the 5.57-kilometre-long Bakhtiyarpur-Tajpur Ganga Mahasetu in June 2011. "A girder of the under-construction bridge fell on the Bakhtiyarpur side during routine work," Patna District Magistrate Chandrashekhar Singh told PTI.
