Jalgaon Bridge Collapse Sparks Technical Probe
A bridge that was built just a year ago in Jalgaon, India, fell apart after a heavy rainstorm.
State ministers visited the site and were worried that the bridge might not have been built well.
They asked experts to look closely at the bridge and find out what went wrong.
The police set up new routes so people could still travel safely.
The government said it will fix the bridge quickly and make sure it is safe for everyone.
A section of the Paldhi‑Tarsod bypass bridge collapsed after heavy rain, less than a year after construction.
State ministers Gulabrao Patil and Girish Mahajan inspected the site and raised concerns about construction quality.
Mahajan ordered an impartial technical investigation and requested central experts to assess the damage.
Police arranged alternative traffic routes to minimize inconvenience to commuters.
Officials called for a structural audit and swift repairs while ensuring public safety.
