CLAIMING THAT documents relevant to the questions asked by the state government are in the custody of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), the general board of the Morbi Municipality, in a unanimous resolution passed on Monday, requested the government to return the papers so that it could respond to its show-cause notice.
The SIT had impounded documents from the municipality a day after the Morbi bridge collapse on October 30 last year, in which 35 people were killed and over 100 others sustained injuries, the civic body said.
The BJP-ruled civic body also requested the state government not to take any decision in the matter of dissolving the municipality board till it sends its reply.
