What happened
The Baromashia Debnathpara bridge demonstrated its peak flexibility on January 31, 2026, by neatly folding into the river the moment a dumper truck attempted to cross it. Local officials praised the structure's 'commitment to transparency,' as its collapse immediately revealed the underlying lack of maintenance that had been hidden from the public eye for decades. The bridge is now serving a dual purpose as a permanent underwater speed breaker and a political debating point for the upcoming local elections.
