20 bridges in Kolkata, Howrah are unsafe: WB CM Mamata
As many as 20 bridges in the cities of Kolkata and Howrah are weak and unsafe as they are beyond their "expiry dates", West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said. She added that she has told the police to prevent overloading of trucks to avoid putting bridges under stress. Kolkata's Majerhat bridge collapsed on Tuesday following heavy rains.
