A portion of Patna’s newly inaugurated double-deck flyover on Ashok Rajpath has reportedly sunk following relentless rainfall, sparking serious concerns over its structural integrity. The INR 422-crore project, inaugurated by CM Nitish Kumar on June 11, 2025, was aimed at easing traffic in the congested corridor. However, heavy monsoon showers over the past week have battered the city, causing widespread flooding in areas like Kankarbagh, Rajendra Nagar, and Gandhi Maidan. Waterlogging, sewage overflow, and collapsed drainage have crippled daily life. The flyover damage highlights poor planning and raises questions about the durability of recent infrastructure projects under extreme weather conditions and ineffective urban drainage systems.
