The bridge was reopened for the public four days ago. 47 children passed away in the tragedy. The Oreva Group renovated the bridge and it did not take any fitness certificate from the civic authorities before the bridge got reopened. Morbi municipal agency chief Sandipsinh Zala informed about the same. The contract was to keep the bridge shut for 12 months for maintenance. The cops lodged an FIR against the Overa Group calling it an irresponsible and a careless gesture. The tickets for the entry are sold for Rs 12 and Rs 17. More than 400 people were present on the bridge when it collapsed. The old metal cables broke down due to the severe pressure. Even after the renovation, some of the old cables were not changed. A Public Interest Litigation or PIL has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a judicial probe in the incident.
