Bridge collapses in Bihar’s Kishanganj, fourth incident in State in eight days

The Hindu  

A fourth bridge has collapsed in Bihar within eight days. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas in Nepal, with which Kishanganj shares its border, led to a sudden rise in the water level and one of the pillars of the bridge could not withstand the river’s strong currents, causing the collapse, District Magistrate Tushar Singla told reporters. Three days later, on June 22, a portion of a bridge connecting Daraunda and Maharajganj blocks of Siwan district caved in. The next day, on June 23, part of a 16-metre-long bridge built under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna came crashing down in the Ghorasahan block of East Champaran district. On March 22, an under-construction bridge over the Kosi river collapsed in the Supaul district, leaving one worker dead and eight injured.
