Sir,
The failure of bridges can result from various factors, including design flaws, construction negligence, collapse from impact or explosions, flood-related failures, seismic activity, false work issues and scouring. Recently, a unique and concerning phenomenon has emerged in Mysuru, with peepal tree plants growing extensively on the Hinkal-Mysuru flyover, the city’s first flyover (as reported in SOM dated Nov. 29 titled “Over 90 peepal tree plants grow on city’s first flyover at Hinkal”).
