The PWD can’t deny its responsibility, says the CM; the state government has decided to build a new bridge at the same site within one year after dismantling the collapsed structure.
The police identified the body as that of Goutam Mondal (45), a labourer from Murshidabad district who had been missing along with another labourer Pranab Dey since the accident that took place on Tuesday.
This is the third bridge collapse in the city in five-and-a-half years. CM Mamata Banerjee has said committee headed by Chief Secretary Malay De will conduct a probe
