Parties call for action in Vizag flyover mishap

VISAKHAPATNAM: Several political parties, including the ruling YSRC, have demanded action against the construction company for the flyover mishap at Anakapalli, in which two people were crushed to death when two beams of the under-construction flyover on NH-16 near Puppala junction collapsed on their car on Tuesday evening.

According to civil engineering experts from Andhra University, who visited the site to examine the reason behind the collapse, the flyover had eight beams out of which two beams collapsed.

“There was no interlink between the beams, which caused the accident. Why was traffic allowed to pass under the flyover when the construction was not completed? There is no diversion road, nor are there lights,” YSRC’s Anakapalli constituency observer Dadi Ratnakar said. TNN
