A peculiar case has come to light in Purnia, Bihar, in which a real estate broker built an illegal bridge over the river in the greed to increase the price of the land.
Shocked by the incident, the authorities have now ordered the demolition of 60 feet long and 10 feet wide bridge over the Kari Kosi river. Purnia Municipal Commissioner Kumar Mangalam said that 60 feet tall and 10 feet wide bridge on Kari Kosi river in ward number four in Rahmatnagar locality of Purnia city has been built by private persons without the permission of the Municipal Corporation. The commissioner said that this bridge comes under the jurisdiction of Purnia Municipal Corporation. He said that we have also sought an explanation from the Water Resources Department on this issue. The commissioner said that this bridge was built without the information of the corporation. A team of officers visited the spot last Thursday to take appropriate action. However, some people who have vested interests in the construction of this bridge provoked the local people, after which the local people opposed the official team and stopped the officials from taking action.
However, he said that we will take action under the current law. The officer did not deny the collusion of the land mafia and brokers behind the construction of this bridge. However, he said that the locals are not ready to reveal the identity of the people behind the construction of this bridge.
