Collapsed bridge: Due to heavy rains, a bridge over Saadi River collapsed in Jalpurwan, bringing traffic to a standstill.

Collapsed Bridge: Gopalganj. On the road connecting Sreyan Akhtar of Manja block via Jalpurwan village of Kalyanpur panchayat of Barauli block, a bridge built over river Chaadi at Jalpurwan sinks and reaches the Siwan-Safra road. gone The bridge began to sink due to heavy rains on Wednesday. The villagers immediately informed the administration about this. On being informed, the STO inspected the bridge and ordered the villagers to stop traffic on the bridge and erected bamboo barricades on both sides of the bridge. The work of filling sacks filled with soil and other materials has started under the bridge to repair the sunken soil and the wall. Built over the river Saadi in Jalpurwan, the bridge has suffered from years of neglect by the administration. Here, a bridge built by the department over the river decades ago has collapsed over time. Its remains can still be seen here today. Aggrieved by the dilapidation of the bridge and the disruption of traffic, the villagers started building the bridge from their own level, connecting the remaining portion of the old bridge, which was already narrowly constructed with casters.

Recently, the wall that was filled and constructed under the slab connecting the new bridge with the old bridge was washed away in the rain on Wednesday, causing the slab of the new bridge to come down. If the rescue work is not done immediately, the soil accumulated under the slab will be washed away by the water and the bridge will collapse completely. But since the administration is alert, raw materials etc. have arrived for the rescue work.
