A Rs 6 crore bridge in Bihar's Katihar district remains unusable four years after construction began due to an incomplete approach road. The Pasanta Bridge, built under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, was designed to connect 10-12 villages to the district headquarters but stands abandoned because land acquisition for a crucial pillar was never completed, highlighting significant planning failures in rural infrastructure development.
