CNN —A four-lane concrete bridge being built across the River Ganges in the east Indian state of Bihar has collapsed for the second time in just over a year, once again raising questions about the quality of its construction.
The Sultanganj Bridge has collapsed twice since construction began in 2017, the first time in April last year before Sunday’s catastrophic failure.
It’s not clear why the bridge collapsed last year or if those problems had been rectified.
Crowds of people on the river bank can be seen filming the bridge and shouting as it tumbles down.
The Sultanganj Bridge is not the only one to have collapsed in India in the last year.
