The councillors of the Morbi Nagarpalika have opposed the Gujarat government’s move to supersede it.
The councillors have written a letter to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel opposing the state government’s move.
After the collapse of the suspension bridge on the Machchu River on October 30, in which 135 people were killed, the Gujarat government informed the Gujarat High Court that it will supersede the nagarpalika.
Of the 52 elected members in the Morbi nagarpalika, 47 members have opposed this. In the letter to the chief minister these councillors have stated that they had no role in giving the repair contract to Oreva group.
