Before PM Narendra Modi's arrival, four new water coolers were installed overnight at the government hospital in Morbi, but at least none among them was functional. A clear illustration of how hasty the repairs were after 130 people perished in the bridge collapse on Sunday and many of the injured were brought here was the fact that the supply wasn't connected. In advance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the tragedy-stricken town in Saurashtra, the authorities' decision to quickly rebuild the Morbi Civil Hospital has garnered criticism from a number of quarters. According to official statistics, 136 people perished on Sunday night when the hanging bridge in Morbi that across the Machhu River fell. Beyond capacity, the bridge was crowded.
