A day after a portion of an under-construction bridge collapsed near Ghori in Bihar’s Kishanganj district, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) on Sunday suspended four officials who were part of the project.
The under-construction bridge over the Mechi river would link Kishanganj and Katihar upon completion.
“The NHAI has suspended four officials who were associated with the construction of the bridge. The project is worth Rs 1500 crore,” NHAI Regional Manager Awadesh Kumar said.
He, however, did not reveal the names of the officials suspended.
