In Kalahandi district's Thuamul Rampur block, a protection wall of a bridge built only 5 months ago collapsed following light rainfall. Cracks have appeared on the newly constructed pitched road from Dumerpadar to Gopinathpur. Local residents and Samiti members allege large-scale corruption and low-quality work by the PWD and the contractor. They claim thin iron rods were used and soil compaction was not done properly. While the PWD Junior Engineer attributed the collapse to a nearby landowner digging soil for farming, locals have demanded a high-level inquiry into the project's durability and design. https://www.dharitri.com/guard-wall-of-the-pole-collapsed-less-than-a-year-later-in-thuamularampur/
