The collapse of the bridge in Gujrat is a clear reflection of the poor administration and corruption the state of Gujrat. The renovator of the century-old bridge that collapsed in Gujarat's Morbi city had not taken a fitness certificate from the authorities before reopening it, according to the local municipal body's chief. Over 150 people were killed after the bridge snapped. Eighty are in hospital with serious injuries and some 200 are missing, officials said.

A private trust named Oreva renovated the bridge after getting the government's tender. The bridge had been shut for seven months for renovation. It was reopened on October 26.

Morbi municipal agency chief Sandipsinh Zala told NDTV that the company, Oreva, did not take a fitness certificate from the authorities before opening the bridge. "It was a government tender. Oreva group was supposed to give its renovation details and get a quality check before opening the bridge. But it did not do so. The government was not aware of this," 

The officials are conveniently shifting the blame on the private contractor but will this theory survive? Sadly, there will be no solution.
