Even as the Morbi municipality has feigned ignorance during court hearings in the bridge collapse incident of October last year that killed 135 people, the state government Tuesday remarked before the court that the civic body “can’t say we were not aware” of the reopening of the bridge.
The state’s remark came after the division bench of Chief Justice Sonia Gokani stressed that though the bridge’s maintenance and repair was handed over to a private party, at the same time the municipality should have seen as to how the bridge was reopened.
