Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha and other officials have expressed concern over the incident, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the repeated collapses. Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav have also called for accountability and action against those responsible.
