Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 1, 2022 said a “detailed and extensive” inquiry to identify all aspects relating to the Morbi bridge collapse tragedy is the need of the hour, as he chaired a high-level meeting in Morbi to review the situation.

He asserted that key learnings from the inquiry must be implemented at the earliest, officials said.

Authorities must stay in touch with the affected families and ensure that they receive all possible help in this tragic hour, he said after he was briefed on the rescue operation and the assistance provided to the affected families.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Gujarat’s Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, who holds the rank of minister of state, were among those who attended the meeting.

Earlier PM Modi visited the Morbi bridge collapse site and reviewed the ongoing search and rescue operations.

Officials briefed the Prime Minister about the rescue operations at the site where at least 140 people were killed on October 30 when the British-era suspension bridge on the Machchhu river collapsed.
