Bihar mein bridge girne ke incidents ka silsila khatam hota nahi dikh raha. Vaishali district mein ek chhoti si bridge gir gayi, jo is saal Bihar mein 15th incident hai.
Yeh brick bridge, jo lagbhag 20 saal pehle bana tha, ek plus 2 school ke paas gir gaya. Ironically, yeh bridge Tejashwi Prasad Yadav ke assembly constituency mein banaya gaya tha jab unki maa Rabri Devi chief minister thi.
Bihar Bridge Collapse ko lekar
Ek senior district official kehte hain ki bridge ko Ganga river ke tez bahav ne bahaa diya, jo recent heavy showers ki wajah se flood ho gayi thi. Local residents ka kehna hai ki bridge Friday raat 11 baje gira, jis se Raghopur East aur Raghopur West panchayats ke beech communication snap ho gaya.
Residents kehte hain ki bridge 20 saal pehle bana tha par samay ke saath purani ho gayi thi. Heavy vehicles ke movement ko rok diya gaya tha. Bridge girne ke baad, 20,000 logon ki connectivity block aur district headquarters se chhuti gayi hai.
Unhone state government se turant intervention ki maang ki hai taaki alternative arrangements kiye ja sakein. “Humne apne MLA Tejashwi Prasad Yadav ke representative aur district officials ko bhi inform kiya hai. Lekin, ab tak kuch nahi hua,” keh rahe hain Vinod Yadav, Raghopur East ke resident.
29 July ko, Supreme Court ne Bihar government ko notice diya tha, jismein state government se existing aur under-construction bridges ka structural audit karne aur weak structures ko demolish ya retrofit karne ke liye directions diye gaye the.
Kuch din pehle, Katihar district ke Bakia Sukhay mein Ganga river par bana bridge gir gaya. Yeh bridge Rs 3 crore mein rural works department dwara banaya ja raha tha. Do pillars wash away ho gaye the due to increased river water flow. Pehle bhi, Kishanganj, Araria, East Champaran, West Champaran, Saran, Siwan aur Gopalganj districts se bridge collapse reports aayi hain. Tejashwi ne react karte hue kaha, “Government ne aise incidents mein kya action liya, humein nahi pata.”
