Newly built Baramulla bridge collapses; people pay for what officials cleared in the files The collapse of a newly constructed bridge on the under-construction bypass road in Baramulla yesterday, injuring at least ten people and leaving one critically hurt with a spinal injury, is not just a technical failure. It is an indictment of the way public works are conceived, contracted, executed, and, all too often, casually signed off in Jammu and Kashmir. A structure that comes down within hours of its completion does not fail by chance; it fails by design.
