Bridge collapse incident
Earlier on June 5, the Bihar government had to face criticism as an under-construction bridge in the Bhagalpur district collapsed for the second time in a year. A video of the incident went viral on social media. Three pillars of Bhagalpur's Sultanganj Ganga bridge were found to have fallen into the Ganges. The 3-kilometer-long bridge from Aguwani to Sultanganj in Khagaria was under construction, connecting North and South Bihar. The SP Singla Company was constructing the bridge at a cost of 1711 crores. Taking note of the incident, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar ordered a probe into the incident and asked to identify those responsible for it.
A dream project of Bihar CM
According to reports, this bridge was included in the dream projects of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Locals said that many people had a narrow escape during the incident.
Aguwani Bridge is one of the potential projects of the Bihar government. Till now Rs 1,710 crore has been spent on the Aguwani-Sultanganj bridge being built on the river Gang. The foundation stone of this bridge was laid by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on February 23, 2014, at Parbatta in Khagaria district.
