In town where bridge fell, life resumes but anger simmering
MORBI: The river Machhu reveals little, its placid waters hiding most remnants of tragedy. It is the banks that carry the scars. The kin come to the banks every morning, flowers in their hands, staring out into the water before receding into their broken lives. Above them is Morbi’s sorrow, the suspension bridge that broke in the middle, plunging 141 people to their deaths on October 31, five days after being “renovated”.
“This is all the government’s fault. They allowed the bridge to open despite shoddy work. It’s all corruption,” says an angry Rajesh Singh.
