Majerhat Bridge Collapse

A section of the decades-old Majerhat bridge in south Kolkata collapsed onto the road below during rush hour on 4 September. A 2016 PWD audit had classified the bridge as "distressed," yet it remained open to full traffic without restrictions or repairs.

Human cost: At least 1 killed, over 20 injured.

What happened after: Reconstruction dragged on for years while locals detoured through heavily congested lanes.

Audits mean nothing without public pressure. FixCity turns citizen reports into evidence officials cannot dismiss.
