Gujarat Bridge Collapse Being Investigated, Says Former State Minister
At least 141 people have died after a British-era bridge in Gujarat's Morbi collapsed last evening. The bridge over Machchhu river had been shut for seven months for repairs. It was reopened to the public on October 26, the Gujarati New Year. The renovator of the century-old bridge had not taken a safety certificate before reopening it, local municipal body's chief Sandipsinh Zala told NDTV.
