A day after an under-construction bridge over river Ganga collapsed, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday acknowledged its faulty design. Speaking to news agency ANI, Kumar said that necessary action will be initiated against those found guilty. He added that the same bridge had collapsed in 2022 also.

“The bridge that collapsed yesterday had collapsed last year also. I have instructed officials to take strict action. It is not being constructed correctly that's why it is collapsing again & again. The department will look into it & action will be taken,” the CM said.
