Gujarat Morbi Bridge Collapse

– Report Writing

Morbi, Gujarat: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on a three-day visit to Gujarat after the tragic bridge accident. He visited the site on Tuesday after hundreds of people died after a bridge collapsed in Morbi, Gujarat state on Sunday, 30 October, 2022. At the same time, Prime Minister Modi also met the injured in the accident at the government hospital. 141 people have died in Sunday's accident so far.

Earlier on Monday, the Indian Prime Minister held a high-level meeting with government officials at the Raj Bhavan in Gandhinagar on the situation in Morbi. Later, Modi went to Gujarat on Tuesday and visited the spot along with the state's Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. After that, the Indian Prime Minister went to the hospital from the spot to meet the injured there. But before Modi's visit, the name of the agency responsible for the renovation of the British-era Bridge was covered with white plastic. Is this done to hide the name of the company Oreva Group? The debate has started by raising such questions.

Opposition parties are criticizing it as 'event management' ahead of Modi's visit. Meanwhile, on the night before Modi's visit, Gujarat's government hospital was practically 'dressed up'. The hospital was prepared at night. Indian Congress, Aam Aadmi Party and other opposition parties have raised a storm of criticism as news of such incidents spread.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that there will be mourning across Gujarat on November 2. Nine people have been arrested so far in connection with the Morbi bridge disaster. Two managers of Oreva Group (Ajanta Manufacturing Private Limited) have also been arrested on charges of involuntary manslaughter. This organization was given the task of renovating the bridge. Among those detained are two ticket collectors, two contractors, three security guards. Security personnel were responsible for controlling the crowd. They also shirked their duty and did not perform it properly.

It is known that Oreva Group has been associated with the renovation of this bridge since 2008. According to the contract, the city authorities entrusted the maintenance of the bridge to the company. Ticketing, security, cleaning and staffing were handled by this company.

The issue of the bridge accident in the Morbi area of the Indian state of Gujarat has also made headlines in the international media. US President Joe Biden expressed grief over Morbi's incident. He and his wife expressed their deepest condolences to the bereaved families.
