Several vehicles plunged into the Mahisagar river after a segment of the 40-year-old bridge, connecting Anand and Vadodara districts, collapsed near Gambhira village close to Padra town on July 9.

At least nine people have died and several others were wounded on Wednesday after multiple vehicles fell into the Mahisagar River when a portion of the Gambhira Bridge caved in. Locals allege the bridge ‘shook’ when vehicles passed through it.

AHMEDABAD: In a swift crackdown following the collapse of the Mujpur-Gambhira bridge, the Gujarat government has suspended four officials from the Roads and Buildings Department. The action follows a preliminary investigation that revealed serious lapses in oversight and maintenance.
