Morbi bridge collapse case: Oreva Group ordered to pay compensation to the kin of each deceased

Morbi bridge collapse case: Oreva Group ordered to pay compensation to kin of each deceased

The suspension bridge on the Machchhu river in Morbi town collapsed on October 30 last year, killing 135 persons and injuring 56 others.

The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday directed Clock manufacturing firm Oreva Group, the company which maintained the Morbi suspension bridge that collapsed killing 135 people, to pay Rs 10 lakh as interim compensation to the kin of those dead and Rs 2 lakh to each injured within four weeks.
A division bench of Chief Justice Sonia Gokani and Justice Sandeep Bhatt asked the company to pay the interim compensation.
The court ordered that every injured person should be paid interim compensation of Rs two lakh.
The suspension bridge on the Machchhu river in Morbi town collapsed on October 30 last year, killing 135 persons and injuring 56 others.
On Tuesday, Oreva Group made an offer before the high court to pay an 'interim' compensation totalling Rs 5 crore to the kin of those who lost their lives and people left injured when a British-era suspension bridge collapsed in October last year. The court had, however, said the compensation offered by the company was not "just"

No load test or structure test was carried out before the bridge was opened, the SIT said.

Morbi bridge collapse probe report: corroded wires, old suspenders welded with new ones, other faults

No load test or structure test was carried out before the bridge was opened, the SIT said.

Months after a suspension bridge collapsed in Gujarat's Morbi, killing 135 people, a special investigation team's findings have come to light.
The SIT, appointed by the Gujarat government, has blamed the collapse majorly on corrosion of almost half the wires on a cable, and welding of old suspenders with new ones, according to news agency PTI.
In its preliminary report, the SIT said that replacing wooden planks with an aluminium deck may have increased the weight and also made the bridge less flexible. The report added that at the time of the collapse, there were 300 persons on the bridge, which was "far more" than the structure's capacity.
No load test or structure test was carried out before the bridge was opened, the SIT said.

Morbi bridge repair contractors were not 'qualified': court informed

Citing Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report, Panchal told the court that forensic experts believed that the main cable of the bridge snapped because of the weight of the new flooring.

The contractors who carried out repairs of the ill-fated suspension bridge at Morbi in Gujarat were not qualified to carry out such jobs, the prosecution told a court here on Tuesday.
The collapse of the bridge on Sunday evening claimed 135 lives.
While the flooring of the bridge was replaced, its cable was not replaced and it could not take the weight of the changed flooring, said the prosecution, citing a forensic report.
The magistrate's court remanded four of the arrested accused -- two managers of OREVA Group and two sub-contractors who had repaired the bridge -- in police custody till Saturday.
Chief Judicial Magistrate M J Khan remanded five other arrested men, including security guards and ticket booking clerks, in judicial custody as police did not seek their custody, said prosecutor H S Panchal.
Police had on Monday booked nine persons under Indian Penal Code section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).
The four who were remanded in police custody were OREVA managers Dipak Parekh and Dinesh Dave, and repairing contractors Prakash Parmar and Devang Parmar, hired by the OREVA Group.

Citing Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report, Panchal told the court that forensic experts believed that the main cable of the bridge snapped because of the weight of the new flooring.
"Though the FSL report was presented in a sealed cover, it was mentioned during the remand plea that cables of the bridge were not replaced during the renovation and only flooring was changed..... weight of the bridge increased due to the four-layered aluminium sheets for the flooring and the cable snapped due to that weight," Panchal told reporters.
The court was also informed that both the repairing contractors were "not qualified" to carry out such a work.
"Despite that, these contractors were given repair work of the bridge in 2007 and then in 2022. So the accused's custody was needed to find out what was the reason for choosing them and at whose instance they were chosen," the prosecutor said.
