On record
A girder of an under-construction bridge collapsed amid heavy rain in Giridih district, adding to a wider pattern of construction-quality failures in eastern India.
The official record states: "No detailed official cause statement found in available reporting beyond heavy rain during construction."
“The girder came down with the rain, which is not a load case anyone had planned for.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“The girder came down in the rain, which in Giridih in monsoon is not what anyone would call an unforeseen circumstance.”
“Walked to the riverbank to see the new bridge and found the new bridge in the riverbed.”
“Site is quiet now. No cause, no report, no bridge, just the rain that apparently did all of it.”
