But an official at the site said he had &#8220;no information that anyone is missing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our boy\u2026has not been found,&#8221; the man said, sobbing uncontrollably. He was talking about his missing nephew.<\/p>\n<p>His sister \u2013 the boy&#8217;s mother \u2013 died in the bridge collapse at Morbi on Sunday and was cremated yesterday. The woman and her son had come from Shamnagar for an outing at the historic &#8220;hanging bridge&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever it is\u2026if we find him then we will get some closure,&#8221; he said. He was speaking to NDTV when GT Pandya, the District Collector of Morbi, arrived at the spot.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Pandya and other officials then took the man aside to try and help him find his nephew.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A total of 135 people have died&#8230;But our control room is still operational. People can give us any information, we&#8217;ll follow it up with due procedure,&#8221; Mr Pandya told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have no information that anyone is missing,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;We will take action after detailed meetings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, there were close to 500 people on the bridge when it collapsed, just four days after its reopening after a seven-month renovation.<\/p>\n<p>Some 47 children died, the youngest just two.<\/p>\n<p>The company that renovated the bridge, clock-maker Oreva, was not qualified to maintain public infrastructure. The Gujarat-based company, known for making clocks, watches, fans, e-bikes and LED lights, was awarded a 15-year contract by the Morbi civic body to operate and maintain the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>A series of lapses in the contract and the repair work have been flagged in court.<\/p>\n<p>The company opened the bridge before schedule, anticipating crowds and greater revenue during the Gujarati New Year on October 26 and the Diwali festival.<\/p>\n<p>The material used was substandard and no quality checks were done before the bridge was reopened to the public. The company installed heavier flooring but did not replace a rusty main cable. A subcontractor only painted and polished the cables, which snapped after failing to support the flooring.<\/p>\n<p>There was no emergency rescue and evacuation plan, no lifesaving equipment or lifeguards and no documentation of the repair work.<\/p>\n<p>Two managers of the Oreva group and two sub-contractors have been arrested. Five ticket sellers and security guards for the bridge are also in jail. But Oreva&#8217;s bosses remain missing &#8211; they are not named in the police case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/video-man-breaks-down-while-looking-for-nephew-at-site-of-gujarat-morbi-bridge-tragedy-3487280\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] 135 people were killed in the bridge collapse in Gujarat&#8217;s Morbi.
