- The Aguwani-Sultanganj bridge, currently under construction over the Ganga River in Bihar, has partially collapsed. This incident marks the third collapse, with the first occurring during a thunderstorm on April 29, 2022.
- In the past four weeks, 15 bridges have collapsed in Bihar, including one over the Parman River that was washed away by floodwaters. These incidents have raised concerns about the integrity of the state's infrastructure.
- On July 28, the Supreme Court directed the Bihar government to respond to a petition requesting a comprehensive structural audit of all existing and under-construction bridges. The petitioner, advocate Brajesh Singh, emphasized the need to either demolish or repair weak structures.
- Over the past two years, several significant bridge collapses have resulted in numerous injuries and fatalities. The petition attributes these incidents to state negligence and a corrupt network among contractors and relevant agencies.
