Gujarat government-appointed Special Investigation Team (SIT)'s preliminary probe report which was recently shared with the Morbi Municipality by the state Urban Development Department, highlighted some major lapses that led to the accident.
According to the report, the two main cables of the bridge, built by the erstwhile rulers in 1887 over river Machchhu, one cable was having issues of corrosion and nearly half of its wires "may be already broken" even before the cable snapped on October 30 evening. The SIT had found several lapses in repairs, maintenance and operation of the bridge.
It has found in its preliminary probe that corrosion on nearly half of the wires on a cable and welding of old suspenders with new ones were some of the major faults that led to the collapse of the suspension bridge in Morbi last year in which 135 people were killed.
