TIL Desk/National/Patna/ Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Monday said strict action would be taken against those found guilty in the collapse of an under-construction bridge over the Ganga river, even as the opposition BJP alleged that Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav was “hiding the truth” in the incident.
The saffron party slammed Yadav, the RJD leader, for his comment that “many structural defects” of the bridge have been pointed out by experts, and “the state government has already pulled down many portions which have been flagged as particularly vulnerable”. The 3.16-km-long bridge was supposed to connect Khagaria district with Bhagalpur.
It collapsed twice in the last 14 months- the first on Bhagalpur’s Sultanganj side in April 2022 and the second time on Sunday evening on the Khagaria side. “The bridge is not being constructed properly and that is why it collapsed twice since April 2022. It’s a serious matter. The department concerned has already initiated a thorough probe into it. Strict action will be taken against those found guilty,” Kumar said, while talking to reporters here.
