Gujarat High Court Demands Ongoing Support for Morbi Bridge Collapse Victims

The Gujarat High Court urges the Oreva Group, responsible for the Morbi bridge, to provide lifetime pensions to elderly parents who lost sons and support widows through jobs or stipends after the suspension bridge collapse. Chief Justice Agarwal emphasizes recurring support, stating one-time compensation isn’t sufficient.

The court suggests creating a trust for compensation disbursal and directs Morbi Collector to report on victims’ conditions. The Oreva Group is ordered to approach victims through the Collector.

The court dismisses the company’s plea for its CEO’s bail, stating it can’t claim to be a sufferer after findings in the special investigation team report.
