HYDERABAD: Reports keep coming in about the shoddy construction of many works built by the government with people’s tax money. A new example of this is the collapse of the bridge in Telangana. Due to excessive wind, the bridge built across the river has collapsed. A part of a bridge under construction across Manair river has collapsed in Peddapally district of Telangana. Two cement beams fell from the bridge due to strong winds. The disaster was delayed as this incident happened in the middle of the night. The villagers informed the police about the incident on Tuesday.
47.40 crore cost of work
The work on the 1 km long bridge was started in 2016 at an estimated cost of Rs 47.40 crore. It is said. Jayashankar is being constructed to connect Garmillapally village in Bhupalpally district and was expected to be completed within a year. The bridge was expected to reduce the distance between the towns of Manthani and Parakala, and Bhupalpally and Jammikunta by about 50 kilometers.

Construction work has been delayed due to a change of contractor, lack of funds and other reasons. So the locals use the temporary road under the bridge for traffic.
Local people said that the government has stopped the work because the government has not paid the debts to the contractors. The same contractor had built a bridge in Vemulawada, which was washed away by heavy rains in 2021. Villagers have been using this route for the past five years by making a dirt road under the bridge.
