A segment of an under-construction bridge in Palanpur, Gujarat, collapsed on Monday burying three individuals, including an auto-rickshaw driver, under a pile of debris.
The incident occurred as workers were engaged in the construction of the bridge, but unforeseen structural failure resulted in the bridge section collapsing with devastating consequences.
Congress leader Amit Chavda, responding to the unfolding tragedy, has expressed grave concerns regarding the safety of the individuals believed to be buried under the rubble. “An overbridge collapsed near Palanpur RTO Circle.
Three persons including a rickshaw driver are feared to be buried in the debris after a part of the overbridge collapsed. This is not the bridge, but corruption has developed, now the officers will be changed again, will they be reprimanded?” he said in a post on social media platform X.
