PM Narendra Modi Seeks A Thorough Investigation Into The Collapse Of The Gujarat Morbi Bridge

In response to the Morbi bridge collapse, which resulted in the deaths of 135 people, Gujarat will celebrate a day of national mourning on October 26. An official told the news outlet PTI that flags were flown at half-mast and that there will be no official or entertaining activity on October 26. The decision was made during a high-level conference in Gandhinagar’s Raj Bhavan, which was presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

While investigating the October 23 bridge collapse case in which 135 people perished, Morbi Deputy Superintendent of Police P. A. Zala stated in court on October 25 that the suspension bridge’s (Jhoolta Pul) cable was rusted and that had the cable been repaired, this catastrophe would not have happened. The prosecution informed the magistrate court that the companies hired to restore the Morbi suspension bridge lacked the necessary qualifications. Four of the arrested suspects—two managers of the OREVA Group and two subcontractors who had rebuilt the bridge—were remanded in police custody until O by Chief Judicial Magistrate M J Khan. On October 25, the tragedy’s death toll reached 135 people.

In other events, Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to the scene of the Morbi bridge collapse on October 25 to assess the situation. As he presided over a high-level conference to assess the situation, Modi declared that a deep and exhaustive investigation is necessary to determine all aspects of the Morbi bridge collapse disaster. Modi, who also visited the injured at the Morbi Civil Hospital, argued that the investigation’s most important findings ought to be put into practice as soon as feasible.
