Chhatra Bazar–Malgodown Flyover Collapse — photo 1

On record

A portion of the flyover connecting Chhatra Bazar and Malgodown partially collapsed on March 9, 2022, killing at least two people (believed vegetable vendors/daily laborers working beneath) and injuring others, with some feared trapped under debris; residents said the structure had been "in a dilapidated condition."

The official record states: "No definitive official cause was published; Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force and Fire Brigade were deployed for rescue."

No ratings, reviews or visiting tips are published for this entry. It is documented as a matter of public record, not as a tourism recommendation.

“This is not satire. Chhatra Bazar–Malgodown Flyover Collapse is a matter of public record, and at least 2 people did not survive it. We publish it so it is not forgotten between news cycles.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk
