Rescue teams have confirmed the deaths of 9 people in the Gambhira bridge collapsed. while they have safely rescued many others. This incident once again raises big questions about the condition of bridges and their monitoring in our country.

Incident on Gambhira Bridge Collapsed

The Gambhira bridge collapsed which connects two big cities like Vadodara and Anand and this bridge was in use for many years. It is a bridge about 900 meters long and has 23 parts (spans).

Eyewitnesses said around five vehicles, including a car, bike, and auto, fell with the collapsing bridge. The fall happened suddenly and left no time to react. The accident shocked everyone, some people died on the spot, while rescuers pulled out others in injured condition.

Rescue work after Gambhira Bridge Collapsed

Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of 9 people and safely evacuated 9 others. As some people may still be trapped, they are continuing the rescue operation.

The Gujarat government has intensified the rescue operation with the help of helicopters and boats. People from nearby villages and cities are also reaching for help.

Condition of the Gambhira Bridge and Earlier Signs

According to experts, this bridge was demanding repairs for the last few years. Some engineers and local leaders had already warned about its poor condition, but the authorities ignored the warnings and failed to carry out timely inspection and repairs. This negligence has now become the cause of such a big accident.

Local people are very angry about this incident. They say that this bridge was very old and there was a demand for its repair many times, but the government did not take any concrete steps. People also say that the condition of the bridge used to get worse during the rainy season, but still the administration did not pay attention to it.

People are also asking the government on social media that till when will such accidents keep happening? Till when will people’s lives keep falling prey to negligence like this?

The Chief Minister and The Government Said…

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel described the incident as “very sad”. Expressing grief, he said that the government is helping the victims with all its might. He also said that the accident will be investigated in depth and strict action will be taken against whoever is responsible.

State government spokesperson and minister Rishikesh Patel said that the authorities have already started primary rescue operations and will also conduct a technical and administrative investigation into the accident.

The state government has announced a compensation of ₹ 4 lakh to the family of each deceased and the state government will bear the cost of treatment of the injured.

The govt did not wake up even after the Indrayani bridge accident – eyes are still closed

The Indrayani bridge accident in which 4 people lost their lives and over 30 were seriously injured, was still fresh in people’s minds when the painful news of the Gambhira bridge collapse in Gujarat came to light. This is not just an accident, but a picture of the failure of the government and the system.

When the Indrayani bridge accident shocked the entire country, people expected the authorities to inspect all old and damaged bridges, strengthen safety measures, and prevent such accidents in the future. But the authorities took no strict action and held no one accountable.

Now 9 people died due to the collapse of the Gambhira bridge, and the question again stands. when will the government wake up?

Why so much corruption and negligence? – A lesson for everyone

It seems as if corruption in government departments has now reached its peak. Budgets are passed, tenders are given in the name of repair and safety of bridges, but work is not done at the ground level.

Officials show completed work on paper, while in reality, structures are turning into ruins. Until a common man’s life is truly valued, such tragedies will continue. This accident is not just a warning for Vadodara or Gujarat, but for the whole country.

This tragedy stands as a grim reminder of what negligence can cost. Therefore, we must demand accountability and ensure such failures are never repeated.
