A part of the four-lane bridge under construction on Sultanganj-Agwani Ganga river in Bhagalpur, Bihar, fell into the Ganga river for the third time. This bridge is being constructed by SP Singla Company. This bridge is being built to connect Khagaria and Bhagalpur districts. The reason for the collapse of the bridge is said to be the sinking of the pillars due to floods.
There is no news of any casualty
There is no news of any casualty in the bridge accident. Because at this time the bridge construction work was stopped due to floods. It is said that the part between pillar 9 and 10 from Sultanganj to Agwani Ghat has submerged in the Ganges river. Due to this the pillar became weak and a part fell into the bridge.
A video of this bridge has also surfaced. In which it can be seen that the construction work of the bridge has stopped due to floods. At the same time, a part has fallen. While on Friday also a part of the bridge fell into the river and got submerged in water.
