A newly built road overbridge at a railway crossing in Buxar, Bihar, has been closed to traffic after developing structural damage just ninety-six hours after its inauguration.

A section near one of the pillars sank, raising safety concerns and leading to allegations of corruption and substandard construction materials.

The incident has intensified concerns over public infrastructure quality and oversight in the state.
