Judicial panel under SC should look into Gujarat bridge collapse: Mamata

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said that a judicial commission under the supervision of the Supreme Court should look into Gujarat’s Morbi bridge collapse incident that claimed135 lives.

Speaking with mediapersons at the Kolkata airport before leaving for Chennai to meet her Tamil Nadu counterpart M K Stalin, Banerjee said it was a tragic incident and not a political issue and offered her condolences to the bereaved families. However, the CM, at the same time, wondered why central agencies like the CBI and the ED were not arresting those responsible for the tragic incident.

“There should be a judicial inquiry under the supervision of the Supreme Court. Those who have worked to renovate the bridge should be held responsible.
