Portion of bridge collapsed last year too
Per officials, Kumar's body was found under debris in the Kauwakol block. He reportedly died in the bridge collapse, and his body was swept away by the currents. Notably, a portion of the same bridge collapsed on April 30 last year, triggering major concerns over its construction. The 3.1-kilometer-long bridge was being built across the Ganga River at an expense of Rs. 1,710 crore.
