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.

This points to political responsibility of #MorbiTragedy

The administration remains always alert for Modi visit but never alert for common people and their safety

Thread on #Morbi

Morbi is in national news because of #MorbiBridgeCollapse claiming 140 plus lives pointing to gaping holes in infrastructure projects and its maintenance as well as administrative negligence.

Let's delve into Morbi's political past and why turmoil engulfed it.
Morbi traditionally is ceramic capital of India with over 1000 ceramic tile factories producing 90% of India's ceramic production.
This ceramic industry is cracking under rising costs with 800 units facing uncertain future due to constant rise in prices of
gas, coal and raw materials.

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.

#MorbiBridgeCollapse disaster that claimed hundreds of lives is a serious issue of privatised ‘vikas’ model where public infrastructure projects are handed to cronies instead of government taking them up.

Massive gaping hole in PPP model that’s been peddled by none other than
Modi himself (public private partnership) washing hands & responsibility off infrastructure that people pay taxes for.

Disasters end up in appointment of inquiries which never reach any conclusion or even report and quickly forgotten in fast changing politics now.
Zero accountability and punitive action resulting in relentless siphoning off of public coffers lining up pockets of both private sector and ruling political party.

There will be hue and cry for literally 3-4 days and it will be back to usual business leaving families of dead

Today urban fascist Modi inaugurated Phase 1 of Ahmedabad Metro which was launched in 2003 during his CMship. In 20 years amidst corruption of over Rs 500 crores, the incomplete project is hastily inaugurated for election gimmicks.

The project won’t complete even by 2025…
The mother of all metro scams towers over 14 other metro projects in India and Modi’s personal favourite and Ahmedabad metro project head appointed was IAS officer Sanjay Gupta who siphoned off 200 crores. Gupta is in prison now but and authorities could only attach 50 crores…
from his assets invested in hotels, land and real estate.

When metro project began, 1884 contracts costing about Rs 584 were given out without tenders or rules. These contracts included supply of steel, cement, sand, concrete, rubber, casting yards for excavation, construction..

What’s happening with Big Bazaar is truly an interesting game of corporate loot.

While the entire country is caught up in communal bigotry, an open loot of Rs 26,000 crores is taking place and no one even talks about it apart from destitute customers posting random woes about
their purchases, warranties and pay wallets without any redress.

Future Group owes banks over Rs 20,000 crores and they’re fighting in SC against Amazon while most of their stores are literally taken over by Reliance renaming Smart Bazaar.

How this is allowed is beyond belief.
The way Future Group has no assets left for banks to recover, it’s heading towards bankruptcy/foreclosure without any debt recovery plan leaving debtors/customers empty handed.

During US led global recession starting in 2007-08, many western world’s corporate entities faced

India must be the only country in world which is hellbent upon rekindling doused fires of a troubled land Kashmir even after separatists laid down arms and a prevailed process of peace in favour of electoral gains in rest of the country fanning communal flames.

It’s Harakiri!
Those crazy bigots raging for distorted facts in a film must read about Northern Ireland peace process and Good Friday Agreement to understand how a nation heals deep wounds and progresses positively.

After two wars and decades of violence, significant progress was made which
is being scuttled away by shortsighted bigotry in full display in front of the global community destroying India’s reputation of a responsible and tolerant democracy which set an example how an extremely diverse union survived in post colonial era
