On record
An old bridge at Bantalab, whose foundations had been badly exposed by flash floods in August 2025, collapsed on the evening of May 1, 2026 while retaining-wall construction was underway, killing three labourers and injuring one. The state government suspended two officials, attached another, and blacklisted the contractor pending an inquiry.
The official record states: "The Deputy Chief Minister ordered an inquiry "to ascertain the cause behind the incident," with officials citing the bridge's foundations having been left badly exposed and unrepaired after the 2025 flash floods."
