A few days back Kolkata witnessed another terrible accident as the Majherhat bridge collapsed in the middle of the day and that completely shook the city. The CM of West Bengal expressed her concern over this matter and also about the safety of other bridges at a press conference. In this context, the CM formed a special committee to look into the reasons behind the bridge collapse.
The committee will be headed by the Chief Secretary.
The CM has recently formed a monitoring cell to look after the other bridges and also announced that 20-wheeler vehicles will not be allowed to ply on these bridges and flyovers.
