Morbi, 1/11: With the announcement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting the site of the Morbi bridge collapse and meeting survivors at the government hospital, the local administration swung into action to clean up streets and the GMERS hospital where the survivors are under treatment.
Visuals of hospital clean-up including painting works were shared widely on social media by leaders from Congress and Aam Aadmi Party who condemned such a ‘makeover’ at the time of mourning, slamming both BJP and the prime minister. Both the opposition parties held a candle-light march to express solidarity with victims of the bridge collapse and criticised the ruling BJP for failing to avert the tragedy that killed 136 people.
