The program discusses the recent collapse of the Gambhira bridge over the Mahisagar river in Gujarat, connecting Vadodara and Anand districts. This incident is part of a series of bridge collapses in India over the past year. The expert guest, Alok Bhaumik, former President of the Indian Association of Structural Engineers, highlights several issues contributing to these failures. These include poor asset management of infrastructure, inadequate human resources for maintenance, prioritization of new construction over maintenance of existing structures, and lack of regulation in the civil and structural engineering profession. Bhaumik states, ‘The profession has to be regulated,’ emphasizing the need for continuous professional development and competency checks in the field.
