In just over two weeks, Bihar has experienced its 10th bridge collapse, with the latest incident in Saran involving a 15-year-old bridge over the Gandaki river. This marks the third collapse in Saran within 24 hours, impacting connections between villages and the Siwan district. District Magistrate Aman Samir has ordered a high-level probe, considering recent desilting work and heavy rainfall as potential causes. Bridges in Janta Bazar and Lahladpur also collapsed on Wednesday. Similar incidents in Siwan, Madhubani, Araria, East Champaran, and Kishanganj total 10 collapses in 16 days.
