On record

A portion of an under-construction bridge on the Bhavnagar-Somnath national highway collapsed near Rajula; a follow-up report roughly three years later found fresh cracks on the same stretch, worrying residents and motorists about a repeat failure.

The official record states: "Not specified."

“It collapsed once under construction and cracked again on repair. The highway has learned to expect it.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk
