A peculiar and astonishing incident has come to light in Bihar's Buxar district, where a birthday party was organized on a closed bridge built at a cost of Rs 26 crore. A video of this event has gone viral on social media, clearly showing a full setup of tents, lighting, and music. This bridge, located near Itadhi village in Buxar, spans the Ganga River and has been incomplete and closed for several years.

The viral video shows a section of the bridge elaborately decorated. People are seen dancing and singing under colorful lights and a large tent. A significant number of people participated in this event, cutting a cake and celebrating on the bridge itself. This incident not only highlights the plight of government projects but also raises serious questions about safety standards. Organizing such an event on an unfinished or closed bridge can be extremely dangerous.

Local residents state that the bridge has been incomplete for many years, and its construction work is stalled. Despite being built at a cost of Rs 26 crore, the bridge is still not in use, rendering crores of rupees of government funds wasted. Meanwhile, the bridge is being used for private events like birthday parties, which points to administrative negligence.

Following the video's virality, the administration has taken action and initiated an investigation into the matter. However, it is not yet clear who organized the party and whether any permission was obtained for it. This incident has once again sparked debate on the slow pace of infrastructure projects and their maintenance in Bihar. People are questioning why a crucial bridge, despite crores of rupees being spent, remains closed and how such events are taking place on it.
