Patna, a terrible road accident took place on Mahatma Gandhi Setu, which is called the lifeline of Bihar, on Wednesday early morning, due to which there was a huge jam on Patna-Hajipur road. Due to the head-on collision of two trucks, long queues of vehicles were seen on the bridge for hours, due to which thousands of passengers got stuck and people had to face a lot of trouble. After a direct collision between two trucks on Mahatma Gandhi Setu, which connects the capital Patna to North Bihar, the condition of the people stuck on the bridge is bad.

Due to the Mahajam, the lane going from Patna to Hajipur has been completely closed. The traffic pressure has increased considerably. The effect of this Mahajam is being seen not only on Gandhi Setu but also on National Highway 30 and Old Bypass. According to traffic officials, according to eyewitnesses, two trucks collided head-on at high speed near Paya number two towards Hajipur. The collision was so strong that both the trucks got stuck on the road and the traffic was completely disrupted. Soon after the accident, long queues of vehicles were seen on the bridge, due to which the entire road got jammed.

Effect of jam on these roads too

After the incident, the traffic and local police are engaged in removing the trucks from the bridge with the help of a big crane. But, there is no relief from the problem of jam. Due to this jam, thousands of vehicles are stuck, including trucks, buses, cars and other small and big vehicles. The effect of the jam on Gandhi Setu was not limited to the bridge only. Due to this, there was a huge crowd on Old Bypass, NH-30 and Patna Bypass Road as well. Passengers going from Patna to Hajipur, Samastipur, Muzaffarpur and North Bihar were stuck for hours.

People's trouble increased due to the jam

Due to this jam, office going employees, school-college students, businessmen and patients had to face a lot of trouble. People sitting in the vehicles became restless in the heat, while many ambulances also got stuck in the jam. Passengers demanded the traffic police and administration to open the road as soon as possible. As soon as the information about the incident was received, teams of traffic police and district administration reached the spot. Police started trying to remove the crashed trucks with the help of crane and JCB. After about three hours of hard work, the road could be partially opened, but it may take more time for the situation to become normal.
