Bihar witnessed yet another bridge collapse on Thursday, marking the 10th such incident reported in the state in just over 15 days, according to officials. The latest collapse occurred in Saran district, where two additional bridges collapsed within the past 24 hours, District Magistrate Aman Samir confirmed.

The collapsed structure, constructed 15 years ago by local authorities, succumbed this morning. Fortunately, there were no casualties reported from the incident, although it underscores growing concerns over infrastructure safety in Bihar.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the collapses, with initial assessments pointing towards possible structural weaknesses exacerbated by recent heavy rainfall and flooding in the region. Efforts are underway to assess the structural integrity of other bridges in the area to prevent further mishaps.

The spate of bridge collapses has raised alarms among residents and officials alike, prompting urgent measures to ensure public safety and infrastructure stability across Bihar.

Further updates on the situation are awaited as authorities continue to investigate and implement remedial actions to prevent future incidents.
