This bridge, which was completed just 4 years ago, is pointing towards corruption and poor quality. Local people were raising questions on its construction work for a long time. Let us tell you that a part of the bridge was damaged for the last several months, and the repair work of that damaged part was also being done by the contractor. Due to which traffic was being diverted from only one direction. But on Sunday evening the road was completely closed due to the collapse of the second part of the bridge.

Due to closure of National Highway 45, traffic has been diverted from inside Shahpura city. Due to which people going from Jabalpur to Bhopal have to travel a long distance. Police have made arrangements for additional forces regarding traffic.

MPRDC negligence exposed

Let us tell you that the responsibility of construction and maintenance of this bridge was of Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC). Earlier in November, a part of the bridge had tilted, even then the MPRDC officials had shirked their responsibility by asking the contractor to get the construction done. But due to lack of timely repairs, another major accident occurred. The good thing is that there was no loss of life in this accident. On the other hand, as soon as information about the incident was received, senior administration officials reached the spot and efforts were made to remove the debris till late night.
