Collapsed bridge in Ganges.
Unnao: A bridge suddenly collapsed on Tuesday morning in Unnao district of UP. It is said that this bridge was built during the British era. However, traffic on this bridge was closed for many years, so no serious accidents occurred. This British-era bridge was closed four years ago. This bridge was built over the Ganges River to connect Kanpur and Unnao. A portion of the bridge suddenly fell into the Ganges River in the early hours of Tuesday. There has been no loss of life due to this.
The bridge was closed four years ago.
Local resident Ashu Awasthi said that after 2 a.m. on Tuesday, the part between the two pillars of the bridge fell into the Ganges River. Local residents claim that this bridge was built in 1874 by Avadh and Rohilkhand Railway Limited Company. Local resident Panda Raju said the bridge was closed to traffic in 2021 after cracks appeared. Locals said that deep cracks were found on bridge numbers 2, 10, 17 and 22 on the Kanpur side, so the administration completely closed this bridge on April 5, 2021 for safety reasons. While the bridge was closed, it was sealed by building walls on both sides of the bridge.
Video of the fallen bridge comes to light
The fallen part of the bridge fell into the Ganges River in the morning. After the incident, locals also recorded a video of the fallen bridge. These videos are now becoming quite viral. Krishna Kumar, who lives near the Ganges river, said some officials came in the morning and approached the broken part and inspected it for some time. After this they returned. No official statement on this matter has yet come. (entrance-agency)
