7 Engineers Suspended over ‘Faulty Design’ of Bridge in Madhya Pradesh: Here’s What Went Wrong

On June 28, 2025, the Madhya Pradesh government suspended seven Public Works Department engineers due to their involvement in the flawed design of a newly constructed railway bridge located in the Aishbagh locality of Bhopal.
The suspension followed public outrage over the bridge's sharp 90-degree turn, which officials attributed to land unavailability and proximity to a metro station.
The suspended engineers include two chief engineers and several executive and assistant engineers, while a retired superintendent engineer is also under inquiry.
The bridge, constructed for Rs 18 crore, aims to enhance connectivity between Mahamai locality, Pushpa Nagar, and the nearby railway station, and is anticipated to benefit around three hundred thousand residents.
The government blacklisted the construction agency and design consultant, formed a committee for improvements, and said the bridge will open only after necessary changes.
