Morbi bridge collapse leaves dozens dead in India – BBC News



At least 141 people have died after a pedestrian suspension bridge collapsed in the western Indian state of Gujarat on Sunday evening.

Most of those who died were women, children or elderly.

The 230m (754ft) bridge on the Machchu river in Morbi was built in the 19th Century.

It had reopened just a week ago after repairs. The Gujarat government has opened an investigation into the tragedy.

  5. Gujarat ruling party is BJP, BJP belongs to Narendra Modi prime minister of India. The┬аMorbi bridge collapse┬аwas a result of massive corruption and I pray for the victims. I feel in a state where such a big number of people have died, the Chief Minister has no moral right to continue in the top post. The State government should resign in the wake of the incident and Assembly elections be held immediately,"

    "It needs to be probed that why a watchmaking company which had no experience of bridge construction was allowed to work?"

  6. Last I heard was the indians were gloating about getting sumac ( who is not, and never was indian) running the country and how great the indians are without the British.

    Perhaps india needs `British engineers to build bridges and when the get over the other gloat stuff , and begging for cash, they may just realise they are still perhaps more a backward country than they like to think

  10. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Home state. Do you want anything else to understand the condition of India. The bridge was renovated by local unskilled workers. Just Indian things. Sh:thole
