Nanda Ki Chowki approach-road failure exposed design and supervision lapses in a flood-replacement project

The ₹16-crore Nanda Ki Chowki replacement bridge remained structurally safe, but its approach road failed 16 days after opening. A later preliminary inquiry identified river-training/design, erosion-assessment and supervision lapses, leading to engineer suspensions, a contractor bar and a consultant notice; corruption allegations and final legal responsibility remain unproven.
