Chief Minister acknowledges Bhopal bridge's design flaws

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has openly said the new Aishbagh rail overbridge in Bhopal has design issues—specifically, a sharp 90-degree turn that's made locals worried about accidents.
The bridge, built for ₹18 crore to ease traffic jams at railway crossings, hasn't opened yet because of these safety concerns.

TL;DR

Bridge won't open until it's safer, says Yadav

After people spoke up, Yadav promised the bridge won't open until it's safer.
Now, officials plan to swap the risky turn for a smoother curve and make the bridge three feet wider, thanks to extra land from Railways.
The goal: safer travel and fewer worries for everyone using it.
