A day after a major bridge connecting several localities near Ranchi crashed down like a pack of cards, Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Friday ordered a high- level probe into the collapse. The major bridge ‘Haradih-Budhadih’ over Kanchi river that connects Tamar to Bundu and Sonahatu near state capital Ranchi crumbled amid incessant rain under the impact of cyclone ‘Yaas’ on Thursday and its video footage got viral on social media catching people’s attention.
“I have ordered a high-level inquiry in this matter. Corruption and loot of public exchequer will not be tolerated at any cost during my tenure,” Soren said while ordering a probe into the incident. A team of experts and engineers are already camping at the site of the bridge collapse, officials said.
