Know what the officials said
At the same time, after the collapse of the bridge under construction in Shivpuri, the responsible officials have also given clarification. Executive Engineer PWD Bridge Construction Division Gwalior issued a press note. In which he told that ROB construction work is being done at railway crossing number 59C on Shivpuri-Pohri road. The slab work from pillar number 15 to pillar number 16 was done on the morning of 13 June. On the same day at 07:00 pm, cracks were found in the slab by the Sub-Divisional Officer, after which the contractor was ordered in writing to break the slab. The contractor dismantled the slab at 12:00 pm on 14 June in the presence of the sub-engineer of the department. There has been no loss of life in the process of dismantling. The dismantling process was completed with safety provisions.
However, it is also being said that the Public Works Department officials are trying to suppress the whole matter. That is why they are busy cleaning. Because if the slave was dismantled and safety standards were taken care of, then these 6 workers would not have been injured.
