New Delhi:
More than 130 people died on Sunday after a colonial-era footbridge packed with sightseers collapsed in Gujarat's Morbi town, only a week after renovations had been completed. The cable bridge snapped due to a heavy rush of people, sources in India's top forensic laboratory have said.
A day after the tragedy, nine people have been arrested. Among them are managers of Oreva, the company that renovated the bridge, ticket collectors, bridge repair contractors and three security guards whose job was to control the crowds.
