MP Govt Suspends Engineers Over Flawed Bhopal Bridge Design
Imagine building a bridge, but the road makes a super sharp turn, like a right angle!
That's what happened in Bhopal, India.
The government found the people who planned the bridge made mistakes.
They suspended seven engineers because of it.
They are also looking into what a retired engineer did.
The companies that built and designed the bridge can no longer be used.
The bridge won't open until they fix the sharp turn.
The Madhya Pradesh government suspended seven engineers due to flawed design of a rail overbridge.
The faulty design involves a 90-degree turn in the Aishbagh Rail Over Bridge (ROB).
