"Largesse Of State...": Gujarat High Court's Strong Remarks On Morbi Bridge Tragedy

Gujarat bridge collapse: "Why was tender not floated? Why weren't bids invited?" Chief Justice says to the Gujarat's top bureaucrat

Ahmedabad: Slamming the Morbi civic body for "acting smart", the Gujarat High Court today sought direct answers and slammed the manner in which the contract was awarded for maintenance of a 150-year-old bridge that collapsed on October 30 killing over 130 people.

"The municipality, a government body, has defaulted, which ultimately killed 135 people," the court said as a preliminary observation. As the municipality was not represented by any officials today despite a notice, the bench remarked, "They are acting smart." 

It pointedly asked officials to come back with details on whether any condition for certifying fitness of the bridge before its reopening was part of the agreement, and who the person responsible was.
