NEW DELHI: Over100 bridges in different parts of the country are on the verge of collapse and need immediate attention, union transport minister Nitin Gadkari said in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

The startling information came to light after the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways completed a safety audit of 1.6 lakh bridges in the country andmore than 100 structures were found to be in an unsound state.

"These 100 bridges can collapse anytime and they need immediate attention," Gadkari said during Question Hour in Lok Sabha.

Theunion minister informed the Lok Sabha that the transport ministry had last year launched a special project to organise data regarding all bridges and culverts in the country as part of measures being taken to avert mishaps.

Gadkari also recalled a tragic bridge collapse in Maharashtra's Raigad district last year. 26 people lost their lives whentwo buses and some private vehicles were swept away when a British-era bridge over the Savitri river near Mahad collapsed on August 2, 2016.
