Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner Orders Citywide Bridge Inspection After Vadodara Incident

A day after the Gambhira bridge collapse in Vadodara, which claimed 15 lives, Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner Banchhanidhi Pani has directed the Bridge Project Department to conduct a comprehensive inspection of all bridges in the city — including railway overbridges, river bridges, and other key structures.
