4. A trial-bridge (suspension bridge) over the Bheri River at Shubhaghat near Mehalkuna
bazaar of Surkhet district collapsed on 25h December, 2007. The collapse of the bridge
claimed some 18 people's life and it is speculated that about 70 persons are missing in the
Bheri river. The mishap happened while a large crowed of people (some eye witnesses
claims 500 to 500 persons) were crossing the bridge to participate in a local fair on the
other side of the bank. The bridge is located at about l0km northeast from the Chhinchu
bazaar. The span of the bridge was 187 meters and was completed construction in the
fiscal year 20631064 (July 2006 / June 07). This was constructed by DDC-Surkhet,
supervised by DTO-Surkhet and the consultant was FACE Consultant Kathmandu. The
contractor was the DC Nirman Sewa, Nepalgunj. The fabricator of all the elements of the
bridge was Hulas Steel Industries, Simara. Nepal Government has announced to conduct
detail investigation of the incident. Initially, it was assumed that the bridge failed due to
overload. Prior to the incident, the DTO technician had allegedly instructed the contractor
to tighten the nuts of the bulldog grips of the main cables. The Qhairperson of the Fair
Management Committee has been quoted to say that the contractor has not tightened the
nuts as was [Link]. Preliminary investigations by the SBD Englneers seem to indicate
