On record
A three-span bridge collapsed when an overloaded tractor carrying maize crossed it, part of a wider pattern the state has seen (Bihar's collapsing bridges reportedly cost the state at least ₹3,953 crore collectively over 4 years).
The official record states: "State authorities attributed the specific incident to overloading; broader pattern linked to poor maintenance and construction quality."

“Watched a tractor load of maize win a straight argument with three spans of concrete.”
“Officials have blamed the overloading. Nobody has yet charged the maize.”
“The bridge stood for years and then met agriculture, which is the only industry this district has ever had.”
