Ropeway collapses during trial in Bihar

Ropeway collapses during trial in Bihar

A new ropeway in Bihar's Rohtas district collapsed during a test.

The ropeway was being tested to carry more weight when a wire got stuck and caused the collapse.

Four trolleys and multiple pillars were damaged, but no one was hurt.

Workers at the site were able to protect themselves.

A team from Kolkata will investigate the incident.

The ropeway will not be open to the public until the tests are completed and authorities are satisfied with the results.

The ropeway was supposed to make it easier for people to visit Rohtasgarh Fort, a popular tourist spot.

The project has faced multiple delays and the cost of reconstruction will be borne by the construction company.
