HOURS AFTER the state government sent a reminder to the Morbi municipality about the latter’s pending response to a show-cause notice on the bridge collapse incident, Morbi municipality president Kusum Parmar issued a circular late on Monday evening, calling for a special meeting of the general board of the civic body
on Wednesday.
The state government has fixed the deadline for February 16 to respond to the show-cause notice asking why the civic body should not be superseded in view of the bridge collapse incident of October 31, 2022, that killed 135 people.
The state government’s latest letter warned that if the municipality didn’t respond by February 16, the government will assume that the civic body doesn’t want to make any submission and the government will take a unilateral decision.
