Like a video playing in reverse, these structural failures capture setbacks to the state's infrastructure, undoing years of progress in just a matter of moments.
Since Nitish Kumar assumed office as chief minister in November 2005, Bihar has built over 6,200 bridges, small and big, symbolising a significant leap forward in infrastructure. But the past month has unveiled a disconcerting reality-between June 18 and July 4, at least 12 bridges crumbled across the districts of Kishanganj, Araria, Madhubani, East Champaran, Siwan and Saran. Many of these bridges are fairly new or were under construction.
Initial investigations in Siwan and Saran suggest deeper systemic flaws, with some cases possibly exacerbated by the actions of inept departments.
