Summary:

On the other hand, Bhardwaj said: "We are not responsible for maintenance of the bridges constructed by the CPA. Bhopal Municipal Corporation (BMC) also looks after maintenance of two bridges- Cable Stay Bridge and Veer Savarkar Setu. "We have recently converted Chetak Bridge into a six-lane bridge and Bharat Talkies overbridge was also strengthened after the 2015 accident," he added. The bridge, perhaps the oldest in Bhopal, has been re-built and is maintained by the PWD. "Since the bridges were constructed under Bhoj Wetland Scheme, they were handed over to the BMC for maintenance," added Jawahar Singh..
