Private firm Oreva is under scanner for allegedly doing a shoddy job of repairing the colonial-era bridge in Gujarat's Morbi that snapped Sunday evening killing at least 135 people.
Workers were seen cleaning and painting a portion of the 300-bed govt hospital, which is a ground plus two-storey structure of three wings, ahead of PM Modi’s visit later Tuesday.
'This video here is appalling and it's made me feel very paranoid about my privacy', he wrote in an Instagram post adding that 'he was 'not okay with this kind of fanaticism'.
According to officials, the bridge collapsed after cables supporting it snapped. The private firm responsible for its repair claimed the bridge snapped due to tourists swaying it.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
