Three days after a century-old bridge collapsed in Gujarat's Morbi, killing 135 people, the owners of the company blamed for poor renovation work remain missing. 48 hours after the Morbi tragedy, why is the Gujarat government and the BJP not answering basic questions?Why were the owners of the Oreva company and the municipal authorities not namedin the FIR?
The Oreva company, a watchmaker, bagged a 15-year contract to maintain the bridge in March and reopened it after repairs seven months later - before schedule. The Morbi municipal body allegedly awarded the contract to Oreva without a bidding process.
Questions have been raised by the survivors of the tragedy and the opposition about the police FIR not naming either the top bosses of Oreva or the civic officials who signed the contract despite glaring gaps.
