The bridge was under repair before it reopened last week. Within five days, however, the accident happened. A high-level probe has been initiated into the incident, the state government has said. More than 200 personnel were deployed overnight as the teams of the NDRF, Army and Navy carried out rescue operations. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Sunday night also visited the site of the accident and held a review meeting. Patel also spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi soon after the incident, and the PM called for “urgent mobilization” of rescue and relief teams.
