A 60-foot-long, 500-tonne iron bridge at a village in Rohtas district of Bihar has been stolen by thieves who posed as government officials. The Water Resources Department on April 8 lodged an FIR against unknown people.
The local villagers, who noticed the bridge over the Ara-Sone canal missing on April 5, said it was built around 45 years ago.
“Even three days ago, the structure of the bridge was there but suddenly it disappeared and we informed local officials,” said Suresh Kumar of Amiyawar village in Rohtas district. The village is 40 km away from the district headquarters of Sasaram – a place famous for the tomb of Suri Empire founder Sher Shah Suri.
