4 years, 170 collapses, 202 deaths: Whatโs ailing Indiaโs bridges?
Repeated incidents of bridge and flyover collapses across various Indian states have raised serious concerns about construction quality, corruption, and oversight in public infrastructure projects. Many of these structures collapsed shortly after construction or repair, sometimes even before being fully operational. Investigations often point to substandard materials, flawed design, cost-cutting practices, and lack of independent safety audits. Despite large public investments, accountability for failures remains limited, and contractors are rarely held fully responsible. These incidents endanger lives, disrupt connectivity, and erode public trust in governance. Citizens question how unsafe structures receive approvals and why warning signs are ignored until disasters occur. The recurring nature of such collapses highlights systemic corruption, weak quality control, and insufficient monitoring mechanisms. Strengthening transparency in contracts, enforcing strict safety audits, and ensuring accountability are essential to prevent further loss of life and public resources.
