-The Hindu

‘This (2008) agreement is one-and-a-quarter pages, absolutely without any conditions...by way of an understanding, largesse of the State for ten years, and no tenders floated, no Expression of Interest,’ notes Division Bench

The Gujarat High Court on November 15, 2022 asked how the Morbi bridge’s repair work was awarded to the Oreva Group without a tender, while hearing a suo motu petition on the colonial era bridge collapse tragedy in which at least 140 people were killed on October 29.
