Morbi's ceramic factories halted production for one month beginning August 2022 in an unprecedented action. Major reasons for this move was due to significant decrease in domestic demand as affordable housing construction fell below sustainability.

The contract was given for 15 YEARS WITHOUT ANY TENDER!
How can BJP - who rules the #Morbi Municipality, give a contract of repairing a bridge to a watch/bulb making company without a tender?
Kickbacks? Corruption?

The repair work was to be completed in 8 to 12 months
But the #Morbi bridge was made operational in JUST 5 MONTHS!
Why the rush to repair and start the bridge which has been closed for 1 year?
To woo voters before #GujaratElections? Did the BJP's TOP Leadership approve this?

The FIR in #MorbiBridge collapse mentions no names of contractor who was awarded repairs contract.
Oreva, the contractor is a Rs 800 crore Ajanta clock manufacturing company without any construction experience.

Oreva which started manufacturing Ajanta clocks in #Morbi shifted factory to Shenzen in China laying off over 10,000 workers.
Bizarrely the same company was awarded repairs and maintenance contract of #MorbiBridge 😳

#Morbi collector had refused contract to Oreva apparently but a phone call from Gandhinagar forced contract to be awarded to the company.
