The Supreme Court in November said the Morbi bridge collapse incident was an "enormous tragedy", as it asked the Gujarat High Court, which was already holding hearings in the matter suo motu, to hold periodical hearings.
"The bridge was on a cable, and no oiling or greasing of the cable was done. No documentation of what works and how it was done has been maintained. The material procured/used, if its quality was checked, remains to be probed", the officer maintained.
The suspension bridge, which is also known as the jhoolta pool, was reopened on the occasion of Gujarati New Year Day on October 26 this year after the completion of the renovation task of the bridge.
