According to Bhagalpur District Magistrate Subrat Kumar Sen, “4-5 pillars of the Aguwani-Sultanganj under-construction bridge collapsed. The administration is in close contact with officials from the relevant department to assess the extent of the damage and investigate the underlying causes,” reports said.
