A bridge situated over the Gulskari River in Gaya, Bihar, reportedly collapsed on Monday, July 15. This bridge served as a vital connection between Bhagwati village and Sharma village, facilitating movement between the two communities. Its collapse has left the villagers disappointed and facing significant inconvenience. The bridge was particularly important for students who relied on it to commute to their schools. This incident marks the latest in a string of bridge collapses in Bihar, raising serious concerns about the state of infrastructure. On July 10, the 13th bridge collapsed in Bihar within a span of just three weeks, highlighting a worrying trend.
