                     640 crore bridge develops crack in just 13 days

Barely two weeks ago, it was inaugurated with great fanfare by the Minister for Public Works in UP.

Now, the Rs. 640-crore bridge has developed a massive crack - five feet long and 10 inches wide. The bridge in the Banda district is the longest bridge over the river Yamuna in UP.

The state government has set up a committee to investigate the poor construction. Experts say it will take at least a month to repair the damage.
The bridge is totally off-limits for now. Meanwhile, the traffic has been diverted to alternate routes.

                         

This causes considerable embarrassment for Naseemuddin Siddiqui, who is the state's Minister for Public Works. Recently, a government hospital being constructed in the same district collapsed, injuring several labourers.

What should be done to the people responsible behind this?

its really very sad but its a fact our training as a designer is not up to that level so that we can design a bridge of such a standard. and in addition to that there is a very huge giant is also available to stop us to do a clean and honest work that is in indian language "BHARASTACHAR"

When we cannot find a clean person to become CVC - we are entitled to have such cracks and collapses in such public buildings and bridges..
