The Gumla district in Jharkhand is grappling with the impact of torrential rains, which has led to the collapse of a bridge on the Konsa River in Sisai. The bridge, which provided vital connectivity, has suffered significant damage, with a section of it collapsing into the river. This incident has isolated 12 villages, disrupting travel and access to essential services. Local authorities have implemented safety measures by barricading the area around the collapsed bridge. This disruption forces residents of areas like Dadha and Charda to take a significantly longer route to reach the Sisai block. The bridge, built about 15 years ago with a budget of 3 crore rupees, was a crucial infrastructure for the local population. The collapse highlights concerns about the durability of infrastructure in the region.
