On record
A bridge connecting Kadapa and Anantapur districts over the Papagni river collapsed in the early hours during severe November 2021 floods, cutting off a key inter-district road link.
The official record states: "Authorities attributed the collapse to heavy rainfall and flooding."
“It went with the floods, at night, taking the district link with it.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“It left in the night with the November floods and took the Kadapa-Anantapur link with it.”
“The rebuild is estimated at more than a year, so the detour is now the route.”
“Stood on the bank watching people ford the Papagni where a bridge used to be. Flood-resistant, apparently, was optional.”
