Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the site of the bridge collapse in Gujarat’s Morbi on Tuesday to assess the situation following the disaster, which claimed at least 141 lives.
The Prime Minister also visited those hospitalized following injuries and wished them a speedy recovery.
During PM Modi’s visit to the accident site, he was briefed on the October 30 incident by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Minister of State for Home Harsh Sangahvi, and other officials.
Ashwin, one of the injured, told the media that PM Modi spoke to him for about five minutes and asked him about the accident.
“He had asked me if I have suffered multiple injuries and had to undergo surgery. He also wished me a speedy recovery,” Ashwin said.
He also recalled how exactly the bridge had collapsed on Sunday.
“I had heard cracking sounds twice… and after I heard similar sounds for the third time, the bridge eventually collapsed,” he said.
