The death toll has climbed to 24, in the collapse of the under-construction Vivekananda flyover in Kolkata on Thursday.
The flyover's foundation was laid in 2008 and work began in February 2009. It was to be completed by 2010, but the work continued to be incomplete until the day it collapsed.
The tragic incident has once again drawn attention towards the problem of the poor state of infrastructure in India. This is not the first time this kind incident has happened but somehow authorities have failed to act.
