Last week on 31st of March there was a horrific incident occurred in Girish Park, Kolkata, West Bengal.
I know these area from my childhood days and very well aware of the condition there. People from Kolkata very well know that what is North Kolkata all about. It is congested with old buildings with narrow lanes and roads half covered with vendor shops. Some of the buildings in North Kolkata is of 100 years old and in a verge of breaking down anytime. I really feel amazed to know that authorities has planned to create a flyover in such a road that too without proper planning and materials.
The result is in front of us. The under construction bridge collapsed taking huge toll of people in a bright sunny afternoon.
