It is important to note that the approach road of the Bhopalpani bridge on the Dehradun-Thano road had given way three months prior. Before it could be fixed, the entire wall of the approach road also crumbled. Nevertheless, at the directive of top officials, engineers swiftly restored traffic by constructing temporary roads on either side of the bridge.

Upon the instruction of the Secretary of the Public Works Department (PWD), an investigation into the matter was conducted and responsibility was assigned to the Chief Engineer of PWD, DK Yadav.

What says PWD?

The Executive Engineer of the Public Works Department (PWD), Praveen Kumar, composed a letter to the Central Road Research Institute (CRRI) to assess the design and construction quality of the Bhopalpani bridge.
