A HUGE suspension bridge has collapsed for a SECOND time in a year in eastern India, sparking mass outrage.
India's construction safety came into scrutiny once again after a bridge which was under construction collapsed on Sunday (June 4) for the second time in a year in the eastern district of Bhagalpur, with one person reported missing.
"The bridge has already collapsed once earlier this year and yet no attention was paid towards its construction," local resident Rakesh Kumar said, adding that he felt strong tremors likening "a blast" when the incident happened.
The suspension bridge being built over the River Ganges in Bihar state was initially slated to be ready in 2019 but faced multiple delays, according to local media. It first collapsed in April 30 last year due to strong wind and rain, the reports said.
There were no reports of casualties in the latest collapse, although officials said eight men were on the bridge during the incident and one guard was reported missing. The state government commissioned a probe into the case and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar vowed to "take strict action".
