As one part of the bridge collapses, children with mobile phones in their hands can be seen running towards the bridge. As they record the collapse and the water flowing over the collapsed structure, the rest of the bridge also collapses. Only the central pillar of the bridge remains the video shows.
Earlier, an under-construction bridge, meant to link Bihar’s Bhagalpur and Khagaria, collapsed not once but twice. The bridge first came down on April 30, 2023 and then on June 4.
