The under-construction bridge at Padkiya Ghat in Bihar's Sikti block collapsed into the Bakra river due to heavy rains in the catchment area of Nepal. The incident, which occurred on June 18, 2024, was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media. This is not the first bridge collapse in Bihar, as similar incidents have happened in 2024 and 2023. The completion of this bridge would have greatly improved connectivity between Sikti block and Kurskanta block.
