A newly constructed ropeway in Bihar's Rohtas district collapsed during a trial run on Friday, narrowly avoiding casualties. The incident occurred while testing the load capacity, with a wire reportedly getting stuck, causing pillars and four trolleys to fall. The project, connecting Rohtas block to Rohtasgarh Fort, was nearing completion and scheduled for a future inauguration. Investigations are underway, and questions have been raised about construction quality and safety standards. The opposition has also criticized the government over the project.
