Apex court earlier sought response of Bihar govt, NHAI and others

The top court, while hearing the PIL earlier in July, had issued notice and sought the response of the Bihar government, National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI), additional chief secretary of the Road Construction Department, chairperson of the Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Ltd and additional chief secretary of the rural works department.

Bridge collapses have become a routine affair due to deliberate apathy shown by Bihar govt: Petitioner

The petitioner, while highlighting that there is serial collapsing of bridges in the state of Bihar, submitted that the number of collapsing of bridges has increased in Bihar in recent times posing a threat to the human life at large. It further said that it has become a routine affair due to deliberate apathy shown by the state government of Bihar and in the absence of any effective action against persons responsible for the collapsing of bridges.

Old bridges in Bihar also must be audited and monitored: Petitioner

The petition, which also seeks that old bridges in the state of Bihar also must be audited and monitored, has said that “Such routine accrual of the incident of falling bridges in Bihar is more disastrous as the lives of people at large are at stake. Therefore the urgent intervention of this court is required to save the lives of people, as the under-construction bridges before its (their) accomplishment collapsed routinely.”

Ten incidents of bridge collapse were reported from Bihar recently from several district of Bihar.
