Mizoram bridge collapse: Four-member committee to probe incident

A four-member committee has been set up by Indian Railways to investigate the recent bridge collapse in Mizoram that killed at least 22 workers.

The committee, which has experts from premier institutes and governmental branches, will have to submit a report a month after it is formed.

Railway officials attributed the bridge collapse to a faulty gantry that was set up to aid construction.

The four members of the committee are BP Awasthi of RDSO, Dr Dipti Ranjan Sahoo of IIT Delhi Sharad Kumar Agarwal of IRICEN and Sandeep Sharma, Chief Bridge Engineer, NF Railway, an order from Indian Railways said.

So far bodies of 22 persons have been recovered while three workers who were injured are in hospital. One worker is still missing and search operations are on for him, officials said.
