The collapse of a suspension cable bridge in Gujarat’s Morbi, which killed over 140 people, has prompted the Odisha government to act too.
Following the major incident, the Odisha government has closed down the suspension bridge, connecting the Dhabaleswar Shiva shrine on an island in Mahanadi River to Athagarh of Cuttack district and seeing a heavy traffic flow.
The bridge was closed down for an indefinite period and prohibitory orders under Section 144 of the CrPC clamped at the famous Dhabaleswar shrine ahead of the Bada Osha and Kartika Purnima festivals on November 7 and 8.
