What is happening to Vishwaguru 4th largest economy? Shame on state government.
1 Crore compensation for each person died in the Air India flight accident, 2 Lakhs for the Vadodara bridge collapse. That's Indian Government for you!
Bridges keep collapsing in Gujarat — not due to rain, but due to rot. The truth is out: Gujarat isn’t a model of development, it’s a model of corruption.
Very saddening to know about the loss of life. Om Shanthi. But thorough investigation needed to ascertain cause of bridge collapse and those responsible to be booked.
How are we to know if any bridges that we travel on with our families are safe?
