Morbi Bridge Tragedy: High Court blacklists Oreva Group
On Tuesday, the Gujarat High Court directed the state government to consider blacklisting contractors in Oreva Group for causing the Morbi Bridge tragedy that claimed the lives of several people. The Morbi Bridge accident was mentioned in the report of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which implicated individuals including the Managing Director and Manager of the concerned company for their responsibility in the incident. During the proceedings, Chief Justice Sunita Agrawal and Justice Aniruddha Mayee's bench expressed the view that the group should be blacklisted so that they cannot undertake any public projects in the future. Further hearings on this matter are expected to take place after the court's Diwali vacation.
