Questions raised on the quality of construction work
With the collapse of a portion of the Aguwani-Sultanganj bridge after just one year, people have started questioning the quality of the bridge construction. Some are accusing SP Singla Group of making shoddy construction, while some are talking about corruption in construction schemes in Bihar. On the other hand, Parbatta MLA Dr. Sanjeev said that he had raised questions on the quality before and is still raising them. How can this bridge collapse without any reason? It should be thoroughly investigated.
