The incident occurred just days after a bridge collapsed in the state's Araria district on June 18.
A pillar bridge connecting Patedha and Kanauli villages of Maharajganj sub-division, which was built 45 years ago, collapsed around 5 am.
Mohammad Naeem, a villager, said, "The bridge was constructed with public contributions. It collapsed due to the negligence of the district administration."
He said, "The state government should make alternative arrangements to connect the affected villages. Around 20,000 people will be affected by this. The shocking thing is that no one from the district administration came to inspect the bridge."
