Months after the collapse of a suspension bridge killed 135 people in Morbi, the Gujarat government Thursday informed the High Court that it has formulated a uniform policy for bridges in the jurisdictions of municipal corporations and municipalities.
The state, in an affidavit submitted before a division bench of Acting Chief Justice AJ Desai and Justice Biren Vaishnav, said that a government resolution dated March 6 was issued to this effect. The affidavit dated March 7 was filed by Manish Shah, deputy secretary of urban development and urban housing department.
