Four persons were killed and three others seriously injured when portion of an under construction overbridge collapsed near Amgola in Muzaffarpur town on Monday, triggering angry protests by locals who blocked the railway tracks near here for several hours.



One of the pillars of the overbridge built over rail tracks suddenly gave in and those passing by on two-wheelers and bicycles got trapped under chunks of concrete, police said.



While locals brought out four bodies from the debris, three were rescued and taken to a hospital in serious condition.



Train movement on the Muzaffarpur section was affected for several hours as angry locals blocked the underneath railway tracks at Amgola for several hours demanding adequate compensation to the families of the victims.
