The royal family of the erstwhile princely state of Morbi on Sunday expressed their wish to build a memorial for victims of the Jhulto Pul suspension bridge tragedy in Gujarat’s Morbi last October. The family said the 2022 incident was as tragic as the Machchhu dam disaster of 1979.

Briefing the media after the meeting, Princess Meerabapa said, “We had this idea at the back of our mind from the beginning but we thought of doing it in a proper way after consulting people.
