A bridge over the Singla River at Anipur Bazar in Assam’s Sribhumi district collapsed on the morning of Wednesday, February 11, while vehicles were crossing it, prompting panic and disrupting traffic in the area. The collapse occurred in the Ramkrishnanagar section along the Asimganj–Anipur road, a key local route that connects nearby villages and markets.
According to initial reports, at least four other vehicles are believed to have been affected when the structure gave way; several people are feared injured. Eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes as motorists and pedestrians scrambled to safety after the bridge failed, and vehicles were left stranded on both sides of the road.
The incident has blocked traffic on the Asimganj–Anipur stretch, causing delays for commuters and transport services that use the river crossing. There has been no immediate official tally of casualties or a confirmed account of the sequence of events leading to the collapse.
Authorities have not yet released detailed information on rescue operations, the number or condition of injured persons, or the cause of the failure. Further details are awaited as emergency services and local officials assess the situation and begin recovery and relief work.
