In Gopalganj, Bihar, part of Sattarghat Mahasetu, which was completed 29 days ago at a cost of Rs 264 crore, was washed away by the flood. The bridge was inaugurated by the state Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on June 16, but a part of the bridge was washed away by floods during the early monsoon. Due to the breakdown of this bridge, the link between Gopalganj to Champaran and Muzaffarpur district has been broken. This bridge built on the Gandak river was constructed by the Bihar Bridge Construction Department, whose foundation was laid in the year 2012, but this bridge, which was completed in eight years, could not last even 30 days.
