Andhra Pradesh: Floating Bridge Inaugurated in Visakhapatnam's RK Beach Washes Away Within 24 Hours; Video Goes Viral

In a startling turn of events, the newly inaugurated floating bridge at RK Beach in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, washed away within 24 hours of its opening. The bridge, inaugurated by YSRCP Rajya Sabha MP YV Subba Reddy and Minister Gudivada Amarnath on February 25, collapsed, with its platform breaking away into the waters. Fortunately, no casualties were reported as the incident occurred when the bridge was deserted. A video capturing the dramatic collapse quickly went viral, sparking concerns over the safety and durability of such infrastructure projects. However, Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) and the YSRCP are saying the reports on detachment of the portion of the floating bridge are false and the exercise was a part of a mock drill. Andhra Pradesh Train Derailment Video: Visakhapatnam-Rayagada Passenger Train Derails in Vizianagaram.
