2016 Kolkata flyover collapse
The 2016 Kolkata flyover collapse was a catastrophic structural failure that occurred on March 31, 2016, in the bustling city of Kolkata, India. The incident involved the incomplete Vivekananda Road flyover, which partially collapsed during construction, leading to the tragic deaths of at least 26 individuals and injuring over 80 others. The collapse was attributed to alleged structural defects and negligence during the construction process, sparking widespread outrage and calls for accountability. The ensuing investigation implicated several officials and construction companies, raising concerns about safety protocols and regulatory oversight in large infrastructure projects in India. The disaster highlighted the urgent need for enhanced engineering practices and improved urban planning in rapidly developing cities.
