to Harsh Sanghavi, the home minister for Gujarat, a criminal case has been
filed in connection with the occurrence.

also accused private agencies of trying to commit culpable homicide and
culpable homicide that did not equal to murder in connection with the bridge
collapse incident in Gujarat's Morbi district.
A five-member committee
has been established by the Gujarati government to investigate the bridge
collapse tragedy.

failed to properly maintain and inspect the bridge, according to the
authorities, and kept it open for traffic on October 26 instead, showing
extreme irresponsibility.

for maintenance, which lasted roughly 8 months.

that resulted in the decision at Gandhinagar Raj Bhavan.
In
the sad Morbi bridge collapse incident on Sunday, over 130 people—including
women and children—were killed, and over 100 more are currently being treated
for injuries. The incident occurred when a cable suspension bridge in Morbi
