Bihar shocker! Children remove nuts & bolts from ₹422-crore Patna flyover
An incident related to safety of Patna's first elevated corridor or double-deck flyover has came to light after viral videos on social media platforms showed some children removing nuts and bolts from the flyover.
The flyover was recently inaugurated by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Sharing the video on social media platform X, a user wrote: 'Patna's double-decker flyover was opened on June 11, and these kids are seen removing its nuts and bolts. A Serious Safety Hazard! They don't appear local, possibly Bangladeshi!'
The video drew reactions from several X users raising questions about the quality of bolts used.
A user commented: "What kind of nuts can be opened using only hands?"
"Really? Anyone can open it ? Wow .. well thought and built then," said another.
The double-deck bridge has been built in two layers (decks) above Ashok Rajpath, which starts from Kargil Chowk near Gandhi Maidan and goes to PMCH to the Science College.
On Jun 11 during the inauguration, the CM had said that the connectivity of this double-deck flyover with the fast-moving Patna Metro project will further strengthen the traffic management of the city.
The flyover was built by the Bihar State Bridge Construction Corporation Limited for ₹ 422 crore, according to an official statement.
"After the inauguration, the CM inspected the double-decker flyover from Kargil Chowk to Science College and Science College to Kargil Chowk near Gandhi Maidan. He also inquired about its connectivity to the Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH)," the statement said.

Ngp ATC ready to handle any emergencies
Nagpur: The air traffic control (ATC) tower at Nagpur airport is ready with information about its readiness to meet any emergency, if questioned by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in the backdrop of the Ahmedabad incident, said sources. There is a protocol that follows when a full emergency is declared. The worst case can be a Mayday call by a pilot, which means total distress. The Nagpur ATC is geared up to tackle any such situation, said sources. In case an emergency emerges, an entire mechanism, including fire tenders and ambulances, kicks in on the ground. The ATC's job is also to ensure that no other flight comes in the distressed plane's proximity, a source said. The airports are supposed to conduct drills to deal with similar situations from time to time. There are drills for full and partial emergencies, which are held once a year. Mihan India Limited (MIL), the airport operator has already completed the exercise for Nagpur airport, said a source. A Mayday call is considered to be the worst situation, and often there is little chance to do anything. Then there is the Pan-Pan call, which is relayed by a pilot to indicate that there is a danger and the ATC needs to focus on it, a source said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Use an AI Writing Tool That Actually Understands Your Voice Grammarly Install Now Undo An emergency was faced by Nagpur airport in 2021, when the pilot of a Bangladeshi aircraft suffered a heart attack, and the plane made an emergency landing in the city.
