Guard missing after Rs. 1,700cr bridge collapses in Bhagalpur

After a 200-meter stretch of an under-construction bridge over the Ganga River in Bihar's Bhagalpur collapsed, authorities on Monday revealed that a guard was reportedly missing. On Sunday evening, shortly after the collapse of the four-lane bridge, the Bihar government claimed that the structure had "serious defects" and portions were deliberately destroyed in a planned fashion.
