WATCH - Madhya Pradesh bridge, built a year ago, collapses after heavy rains

Raisen: A portion of a recently-laid bridge, connecting the Madhya Pradesh capital with Narmadapuram, has collapsed owing to the Kaliasot River being in spate on account of heavy precipitation over a large part of the state for the past few days.

The issue assumed political hues with the principal-opposition Congress flaying the ruling BJP and denouncing the matter as an instance of corruption. (UNI)
