What happened

In a masterclass of bureaucratic accountability, Siwan administration officials have blamed the sudden collapse of a 30-year-old bridge on a nearby canal. According to the probe, the canal's water had the audacity to exist too close to the pillars, hurting the bridge's feelings and its foundation simultaneously. The government is now considering a stern warning for the Bakra river to prevent future instances of 'aquatic insubordination' against infrastructure.
