The Gujarat government on Friday constituted a high-level inquiry committee headed by an IAS officer to probe the collapse of an under-construction flyover on Sardar Patel Ring Road near South Bopal in Ahmedabad.
A part of the 853-metre-long Mumatpura flyover bridge under construction gave way on Tuesday night when a reinforced concrete box girder fell through during an obligatory stress test. No one was injured in the collapse.
The committee, headed by Lochan Sehra, can have four more members as per the requirement, the state government said in an official release. Sehra is a 2002-batch IAS officer who currently serves as Secretary (Housing and Nirmal Gujarat) in the Urban Development and Urban Housing Department.
