It is reported that a few days ago, a century-old suspension bridge broke and collapsed in Morbi City, Gujarat, India. So far, 141 people have been killed. 177 people were rescued, 19 of whom were seriously injured and sent to the hospital.
According to Indian media, this old bridge has a history of more than 150 years. It has been undergoing large-scale repairs and renovations, which happened to be reopened 5 days ago.
Indian people seem to have a preference for jumping and shaking on the bridge.
30 collapsed at around 6:30 pm on the 30th, nearly 500 people were jumping and running back and forth on the bridge.
Morby Municipal Official Sandeep Singh Jara said that the newly renovated suspension bridge reopened to the public on October 26, but it was not actually approved by the official.
. Another official Zara also revealed that the bridge was renovated by a private trust company, but they did not obtain the corresponding qualification certificate. Even the details of the renovation that needed to be announced before reopening were not announced, and there was no corresponding quality inspection.
At present, India's rescue operations are in full swing.
India has officially announced that it will compensate Rs 4 lakh to the families of the victims and Rs 5 lakh to the injured. Indian Prime Minister Modi , who is in Gujarat, also announced that he will provide Rs 2 lakh financial assistance to each of the families of the victims.
No matter how much compensation is, it cannot be exchanged for so many living lives! There are considerable loopholes in the management of the Indian government. I hope the government can thoroughly investigate the reasons. The corresponding maintenance agencies and the leaders of the authorities will punish those who should be severely punished, and those who should be responsible must take responsibility.
