The Failure Of The Gujarat Government

30th October 2022, this day was a deploring day for India and its citizens, on this day the Morbi Bridge in Gujrat collapsed. Morbi Bridge was a suspension bridge build in the 19th century during the British rule in India by Waghji Thakore(Local Maharaja). The bridge  was present on the Machhu River spanning over 230m long. At the time of the Bridge collapse there were almost 600 people present on the bridge, thrice the limit, in spite of the warning, a large crowd still gathered on the bridge, and many the people there began shaking it, which ultimately led to the bridge's collapse. While 141 people have been declared dead and many still missing.

How did it happen?

Given how old the bridge was, it was only logical that it was closed. However, the bridge was reopened on October 26. But the bridge collapsed four days after it had been inaugurated. It was a tragic incident that resulted in almost 140 deaths. An immediate search operation was launched to locate and save the more than 200 people who were inside at the moment of the bridges collapse.

In 2008 the contract for the bridge was given to the Oreva Group. The Oreva Group was allotted 2 Cr Rupees for reparations for the Morbi Bridge. It was undoubtedly incorrect for the Oreva Group to accept the contract, but how can you suppose a company like the Oreva Group would take on a risky project like this in a subject they have no prior experience in? Moreover, the government is not so stupid to award such a risky contract to a watch manufacturer. Perhaps the Oreva Group had engineers who had repaired bridges in the past, giving them the confidence to repair the bridge; otherwise, it doesn't even make sense that they would have accepted the contract. 

The cables on the suspension bridge were rusty, and the only repairs made to replace the floor with aluminium, yes, aluminium. Exasperatingly, not even the worst management mistakes result in 150 deaths, yet this terrible catastrophe left almost 150 people dead. 

The Action Taken By The Government

The Gujarat government has so far detained nine individuals in accordance with Sections 304, 308, and 114 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Two people who had connections to the Oreva Group have been detained along with two contractors, two ticket clerks, and three security guards.

Is this a joke that the Gujarat Government arrested the ticket collector? They did so in the pretext of taking action. Given the impending Gujarat Legislative Assembly Elections, it is a failure on the part of both the Gujarat Government and the BJP. The Gujarat Government has announced compensation for the dead, injured and families which were affected. But can they bring back the dead, can they give a child his mother or father back, can they give a mother her child back, no they cannot. The BJP has to accept their mistake. 

It's not about the power or money, it's about responsibility and trust in which the Gujarat Government has failed itself. Once shattered, trust is something that can never be repaired, and the Gujarat Government has broken it. They have failed to apprehend the offenders, to safeguard their citizens, to fulfil their obligations, and as a result, the Gujarati people no longer have faith in them.

Give the Gujarat government one more chance and let's hope that such an accident won't occur again. Past examples of such management failures include the Bhopal Gas Leak, Kashmir Hindu Genocide (which the government at the time actually encouraged), the 1954 Kumbh Mela Stampede, the 2008 Mumbai Attacks, and countless others that resulted in far more fatalities than the Morbi Bridge.

Om Shanti Om

People question EVM but when results are in their favour, they go silent," the Chief Election Commissioner

The Election Commission announced two-phase polls in Gujarat on December 1 and 5 as it denied the allegations of bias and explained that there were several reasons for the delay in declaring the election dates in the state. The election commission chief highlighted the Morbi bridge accident as one of these reasons.

Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar asserted that the Gujrat election dates are well within the schedule and that the counting of the votes will be done on the same day as Himachal Pradesh i.e., December 8.

"The Election Commission's impartiality is a proud legacy. We are 100 per cent impartial," he said.

"There are several factors in deciding the polls - weather, the date of the last term of the assembly, the tradition of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh results together. We have to balance a lot of things. We are well within time."

Congress, along with other opposition parties accused the election commission of India of bias and not announcing the dates of election in Gujarat as Modi’s campaign there wasn’t finish.

"Some try to create a negative atmosphere... Actions and outcomes speak louder than words. No matter how much I try to make you understand, what's important are the actions and our correct results. Results have shown that those who are critical got surprising results. People question EVM but when results are in their favour, they go silent," the Chief Election Commissioner countered.
