The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday rejected the regular bail plea of Oreva Group CMD Jaysukh Patel, the main accused in the October 2022 Morbi suspension bridge collapse which claimed 135 lives.
A number of people who lost their family members in the Morbi bridge collapse one year ago gathered near the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad demanding "justice" for the victims and the harshest punishment for those responsible for the tragedy.
According to Palanpur police, the incident happened around 3 pm near RTO Circle where a three-leg elevated bridge that had been under construction collapsed. Police rushed to the spot and are in the process to register a case in the incident.
One person was killed after a portion of an under-construction bridge collapsed in Palanpur town in Gujarat s Banaskantha district on Monday and a search and rescue operation at the site was underway, officials said.
At least four persons were injured after a portion of an old bridge on the Bhogavo river in Gujarat's Surendranagar district collapsed on Sunday evening, an official said.
