A 44-year-old bridge in Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra district collapsed on Thursday afternoon. Due to heavy rains and flood waters, the old bridge has succumbed and broken into the half. The collapse was caught on camera which shows a large portion of the 160-metre bridge collapsed within seconds.

The force of the water was very powerful that the bridge couldn’t manage to stand hard. Pillars had broken and a part of the bridge fell into the water and swept.

Officials said that 76 metres of the bridge on 10 pillars were washed away by flood waters. The good thing about the incident is that no one was present on the bridge at the time of collapse and hence no casualties were reported.

Authorities had stopped vehicles from crossing the bridge after noticing the cracks in the pillars. The bridge was a connection for many people of Himachal’s Nurpur Tehsil with Punjab.

Just 10 days ago, a British-built bridge on the Mumbai-Goa highway in Maharashtra collapsed and 28 bodies have been recovered and 16 people are missing so far. After the collapse, Maharashtra Government said that “the bridge was to be dismantled this December as part of a highway expansion project.”
