US Edition7 Engineers Suspended over ‘Faulty Design’ of Bridge in Madhya Pradesh: Here’s What Went Wrong
- On June 28, 2025, the Madhya Pradesh government suspended seven Public Works Department engineers, including two chief engineers, due to their involvement in the flawed planning of a recently constructed rail overbridge with a sharp 90-degree bend located in the Aishbagh locality of Bhopal.
- The suspensions followed public criticism and safety concerns triggered by the sharp turn, with the Chief Minister Mohan Yadav taking cognizance of serious negligence and ordering an inquiry.
- The 648-metre bridge, built since 2022 at a cost of Rs 18 crore, has yet to be inaugurated due to required improvements, while both the construction firm and the consulting team were banned following the submission of a flawed design.
- Mohan Yadav stated on social media the action involved eight engineers based on the inquiry report, and a committee was formed to suggest necessary improvements before inauguration.
- The event implies ongoing efforts to rectify the design flaws to prevent accidents and restore public confidence before officially opening the rail overbridge.
