The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to constitute an expert committee to investigate why the span of an under-construction flyover collapsed in Nagpur city on Tuesday night.
“The high-level technical expert committee shall investigate the incident and necessary steps will be taken after submission of the report by the committee,” an NHAI press note stated on Wednesday.
A segment (superstructure part resting on two pillars) of the flyover had collapsed from one side at 9.30 pm while traffic was plying under it but no one was injured. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had performed the bhoomipujan of the flyover in 2014 but actual work had begun in 2016.
