In a major incident reported from Chhattisgarh, an under-construction flyover without barricades became the cause of the death of a couple, and critical injuries to their daughter. The incident was reported from Chhattisgarh’s Kumhari city in Durg district. According to a Daink Bhaskar report, the accident took place due to the negligence of the construction company and the administration.
Reportedly, the major incident took place when a motorcycle and a car fell down several feet from the under construction fly over. The husband and wife on the motorcycle died on the spot while their daughter suffered critical injuries and is battling for her life. Meanwhile, the car driver who also met with the accident, has been reported to be safe. The car’s air bags deployed at the right time, saving the driver’s life.
Following the incident, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel took to Twitter and tweeted – “The death of a couple after a motorcycle fell from an under-construction over bridge in Kumhari is very sad. The district administration has been directed to provide better treatment facilities to the girl child injured in the accident. Instructions have been given to take immediate punitive action against those responsible.”
Shockingly enough, traffic was allowed on the other side of the under-construction road, and no barricading was put in place to prevent such disasters.

What Caused the Accidents
As per reports, no barricades were deployed on the under-construction flyover bridge to prevent such mishaps. The flyover was being built from one side, however there was no construction in the middle.
Due to the deceiving appearance of work being completed, motorcyclists started to proceed in the same road. Further, darkness and lack of barricading led to a motorcyclist falling straight down. Hours after that, a car also fell from the same spot in a similar fashion.
Lack of Police Deployment Questioned
A Daink Bhaskar report has quoted questions being asked on the lack of police deployment in the area. Locals have questioned the authorities as to why there was no police deployed after the first accident. Had there been cops put in place after the accident, the second accident, where a car fell from the fly over, could have been averted.
Chhattisgarh CM Condoles Deaths
Meanwhile, following the accidents, Chhattisgarh CM took to Twitter and condoled the deaths.
“The death of a couple after a motorcycle fell from an under-construction over bridge in Kumhari is very sad. The district administration has been directed to provide better treatment facilities to the girl child injured in the accident. Instructions have been given to take immediate punitive action against those responsible,” he tweeted.
“The officials of the district administration have also been instructed to ensure all security measures including barricading in the under-construction overbridge so that such incidents do not happen in future,” a second tweet read.
