Mulugu Warangal bridge collapses
Hyderabad: The Mulugu-Warangal bridge in the Mallampalli area of Mulugu collapsed on Thursday, August 7. Traffic was halted for a bit, and the vehicles were rerouted.
Local people alleged that the bridge collapsed due to negligence on the part of the authorities. They alleged that the accident occurred because the soil supporting the old bridge was recklessly excavated with a JCB, and despite repeatedly warning that the bridge was in a dangerous condition, no engineers paid attention.
