A mysterious country in the East has not been peaceful in recent days, and the speed of the collapse of the five bridges in nine days has also shocked the international community.
This country is India, which is striving to be an "infrastructure madman", but on the road to this name, it has always "collapsed in the middle way".

China Youth Network, June 29, 2024 - Another bridge collapsed in Bihar, India, and there have been five bridge collapse accidents in nine days
India collapsed five bridges in nine days
On June 28, local time, according to Indian TV, a bridge in Bihar, India, suddenly cracked.
This time the bridge had a problem because it was affected by heavy rain.
With the cracking of the bridge of this bridge deactivated, it is also the fifth such accident in this area in 9 days.
As can be seen from the exposed video, the river under the bridge is very fast.
The bridge was also under construction, and the wind was howling around it on the day it collapsed.
The latest collapse of the bridge cost 30 million rupees, but it is clear that this large sum of money has been "wasted" in the literal sense.
Moreover, as can be seen from the exposed video, the collapse process of these bridges can be described as "unhesitating".
A collapse is a collapse, and there is no meaning of dragging mud and water at all, but this situation must have become accustomed to the people of the state.
But the speed of the nine days and five is still a bit jaw-dropping, and the cost of the bridge is not low.
On June 19, also in Bihar, a bridge collapsed at a cost of Rs 120 million.
But as you can see from the video, the bridge collapsed directly after leaning to the side.
Some of the bridges that fell into the river were swept away in a matter of seconds.
Nearby residents also rushed to safety when they saw such a sight.
Although India is accustomed to the news of the collapse of the bridge, this situation has also made India a laughing stock in the West.
But this frequency has also made the Indian public question the safety of bridge projects.
Even in 2023, the bridge, which cost more than 10 billion rupees, will not escape the fate of collapse, and it is still a bridge built on the Ganges, the mother river of India.
This is also a big project in India, but who would have thought that the bridge that made the Indian people full of expectations would collapse twice before it was built.
The bridge was the Agwani-Sullanganj Bridge, a bridge across the Ganges River under construction in India at that time.
The bridge was also ill-fated, with two major accidents already occurring before it was opened to traffic.
It can be seen from the hungry videos and photos from the scene that the bridge body of the bridge is directly broken from the middle,
When it fell into the water, it also made a huge splash, which looked very shocking.

Before the collapse in 2023, the bridge had already experienced a collapse,
At that time, the bridge of another number collapsed, and the result of the incident investigation was later given that the cable was loose.
Although in the eyes of many people, the Indian people have always been a very magical group, but the Indian people have also begun to doubt the quality of building materials in the wake of this series of accidents.
Since the beginning of summer, extreme weather in India has also been increasing.
Some time ago, it was a high temperature of more than 50 degrees that made the Indian people flock to the Ganges River to cool down.
At this time, many places in India were "hit" by torrential rains.
Heavy rains are no less harmful to Indians than high temperatures.
India's "wave of unevenness"
In addition to the collapse of more than five bridges in nine days, various infrastructure facilities in India have been damaged to varying degrees due to the impact of heavy rains.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, India, has a direct picture of the roof collapsing.
On June 28, local time, the torrential rain in India still did not stop, and the roof of Terminal 1 of New Delhi International Airport also collapsed.

As can be seen from the picture, several pillars also smashed to the ground after the roof collapsed.
The vehicles parked on the ground were not spared, and several cars were even smashed beyond recognition.
There was even a stick stuck straight into the interior of a car in the collapsed pillar.
According to reports, the collapse has killed one person and injured eight others.
After the accident, the Minister of Civil Aviation of India also immediately came out to explain the situation.
He said on his social media that rescue efforts are underway and that the injured have also gone to the hospital for treatment.
New Delhi Airport also said that the reason for the roof collapse was because of the continuous heavy rain in the proximal time.
At the same time, due to the impact of partial roof collapse, flights departing from T1 terminal have also been temporarily cancelled.
But just one day after the roof collapse at New Delhi Airport,
Employment at the terminal of Rajkot Airport in India was destroyed due to the same rainstorms.
Two airport roof collapse accidents in two consecutive days, I don't know whether to lament the power of this rainstorm or the poor quality of India's infrastructure.
On June 30, CCTV reported that New Delhi, the capital of India, was being "eroded" by torrential rains, and 11 people had died in two days as a result of the torrential rains.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had already reported two days ago that New Delhi would cause waterlogging in the city, which would also paralyze traffic.

Prior to that, India had been suffering from high temperatures for the past two months, with the highest value in five years on May 26.
The persistent high temperature also makes a large number of people go to the Ganges River to escape the heat, and the Ganges River has long been unable to see its former color.
Not only that, but the hot weather collides with the day of the Indian general election, so it is not uncommon to see people queuing in front of the polling stations despite the scorching heat.
The most immediate problem for them is the lack of water, which is depleted of water in India's major reservoirs and the consequent shortage of electricity.
In fact, as early as April, the World Meteorological Organization had already given a corresponding high temperature warning.
The persistent high temperatures have also led to a shortage of coal supply in India, after all, the most important thing people need in the heat is power security.
However, India relies on coal for most of its power generation, so India has also started its own "coal hunting action".
epilogue
The high temperatures have been followed by torrential rains, and the people of India have not been very quiet in recent months.
The power of the heavy rain is infinite, but the successive collapses also require India's attention.
In particular, the collapse of the five bridges in nine days has hindered India's path to becoming an "infrastructure maniac".
The torrential rain continues, and hopefully the other bridges in Bihar will hold on!
