The Gujarat government on Monday told the High Court it will come up with a uniform policy on maintenance of bridges in the jurisdiction of municipalities and municipal corporations.
The announcement was made by Advocate General Kamal Trivedi during the hearing of a suo motu PIL following the deaths of 135 persons after a British-era suspension bridge over Machchhu river collapsed in Morbi town in October last year.
The division bench of Chief Justice Sonia Gokani and Justice Sandeep Bhatt will hear the PIL further on Tuesday.
