Bihar Engineer Builds Bridge in Field, Not Over River; Villagers Demand Rectification

• A 40-meter long bridge with an approach road has been constructed in a field in Teusa Panchayat, Kishanganj, Bihar.
• Villagers had requested a bridge over the Ramjan River to address monsoon flooding and connectivity issues.
• The newly built bridge stands over agricultural land where crops are still growing, not over the river.
• District Magistrate Vishal Raj stated the bridge was built on low-lying land for water flow during monsoon, similar to box culverts in flood-prone North Bihar.
• This incident echoes a similar case in Araria last year, highlighting unusual infrastructure projects in the region.

Why It Matters: A bridge meant for a river was mistakenly built in a field in Bihar, sparking local outrage.
