There were close to 500 people on the Hanging Bridge when the cables snapped on Sunday evening,  sending hundreds tumbling into the river. The bridge could take the weight of only about 125 people, according to officials. The crowd included woman performing chhath Pooja rituals, and scores of children.

Though tickets were sold there was no apparent crowd control, either by the private company or by the administration. There was allegedly no cap on the number of people on the suspension bridge, which is listed as a popular tourist site in an official Gujarat government website.

According to the contract between the Morbi Municipal body and Ajanta manufacturing Private Limited, accessed by NDTV, the bridge had to be shut for at least 8 to 12 months for maintenance and repairs.

100க்கும் மேற்பட்டோர் இறந்தது வருத்தம் அளிக்கிறது. ஆனால் அவர்களின் உயிருக்கு யார் காரணம்? பாலத்தை சேதப்படுத்த முயன்ற பொதுமக்களா அல்லது பாலம் மோசமாக கட்டப்பட்டதா? ஆனால் முடிவில் பல உயிர்கள் இறந்தன. இதை யாராலும் ஈடுசெய்ய முடியாது. pic.twitter.com/WUnLXXbmCV
