Continuous heavy rainfall in Jharkhand led to the collapse of a bridge over the Banai River, leaving a truck stranded. The bridge, part of the Torpa-Simdega road in Khunti district, crumbled due to rising water levels and soil erosion. Dramatic footage captured the moment of the collapse. A red alert has been declared for Ranchi and other districts. The driver’s quick response in applying brakes averted a major accident. Traffic has been halted, and rescue efforts are ongoing to remove the truck safely. The weather department has warned of more heavy rain and lightning, issuing alerts for several districts and advising caution.
