Bridges continued to exhibit unpredictability as another under-construction viaduct, this time over a Sunderban river, collapsed on Monday morning, sources said.
The labourers working at the site had a providential escape as they were about to join work in half-an-hour when a part of the bridge over Kalnagini river collapsed at about 9 am.
Sunderban Development Minister Manturam Pakhira said an inquiry had been ordered and the guilty would be taken to task.
“No injuries have been reported neither has there been any casualty," South 24 Parganas District Magistrate Y Ratnakara Rao said.
This was the fourth such incident in the recent past after Majherhat Bridge collapsed in South Kolkata claimed three lives late last month.
A similar bridge had collapsed at Posta in Burrabazar area in 2016 killing 27 people.
Meanwhile, sources in the State Government said a Bridge Commission was being formed to keep an eye on the overpasses of the State.
