Bridge collapse kills 9 in Gujarat, survivors recall horror
Tragedy struck Gujarat's Vadodara district when a portion of the Gambhira-Mujpur bridge in Padra taluka collapsed, plunging several vehicles into the Mahisagar (Mahi) River. Even as nine people died in the tragedy that left scores injured, survivors of the mishap on Wednesday recounted the terrifying moments when the bridge suddenly gave way beneath them. Speaking to IANS, Raju, one of the survivors, said, "There was a pickup vehicle, a rickshaw, and a two-wheeler on the bridge when it collapsed. I was on the bridge with my uncle. I don't know where he is now. I fell into the river and somehow survived. I was travelling from Dwarka to Tadkeshwar in a bus." Narendra Singh, another survivor, shared, "I was returning home after my duty. I was on my bike. Just as I reached the bridge, it collapsed right under me." The bridge, which serves as a crucial connector between Anand and Vadodara districts, collapsed during peak traffic hours. Preliminary reports suggest that four vehicles – a Bolero SUV, two trucks, and a pickup van – were crossing the structure when it crumbled without warning. Eyewitnesses described hearing a loud cracking sound moments before the vehicles plummeted into the river. Emergency services, including the fire brigade, local police, and Vadodara district administration officials, rushed to the site and launched rescue operations. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed grief over the loss of lives and announced ex-gratia compensation of Rs 2 lakh each to the next of kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to the injured from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF). "The loss of lives due to the collapse of a bridge in Vadodara district is deeply saddening. Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon," the Prime Minister's Office (@PMOIndia) posted on X. Locals joined the rescue effort, helping pull the injured from the water and wreckage. At least three individuals have been rescued and hospitalised. Padra MLA Chaitanyasinh Zala visited the scene shortly after the incident, while authorities cordoned off the area and launched an investigation into the cause of the collapse. Locals allege years of administrative neglect led to the disaster. "This bridge was already in a dangerous condition. People had been warning about it for a long time. It's not just a traffic hazard - it had become a suicide point," said one resident. Senior Congress leader Amit Chavda expressed concern on social media: "The main Gambhira bridge connecting Anand and Vadodara has collapsed. Multiple vehicles have fallen into the river. Rescue efforts must be immediate, and alternative traffic arrangements should be made." Rescue teams continued to search for missing persons late into the evening, using cranes to retrieve submerged vehicles from the river. Indo-Asian News Service

Ashoka University Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad arrested for remarks on Operation Sindoor
Sonipat (Haryana) [India], May 18 (ANI): Ashoka University Professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad was arrested on Sunday by Delhi Police for making controversial remarks through a social media post about Operation Sindoor. He was taken into custody from Greater Kailash in South Delhi and later handed over to Sonipat Police. According to officials, he is currently being questioned at the Rai police station in Sonipat. Two FIRs have been filed against him. The police will take him in remand after presenting him in court. Sonipat Police DCP Narendra Singh held a press conference regarding the arrest. The action was taken on the complaint of Women's Commission Chairman Renu Bhatia. The professor Ali Khan Mahmudabad did not appear despite being summoned by the Women's Commission in the matter, and the commission has taken a tough stand and registered an FIR against him. Ashoka University has also issued a statement regarding the matter, 'We have been made aware that Prof. Ali Khan Mahmudabad has been taken into police custody earlier today. We are in the process of ascertaining details of the case. The University will continue to cooperate with the Police and local authorities in the investigation, fully.' Following the Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people, including a Nepali national, were killed, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, in which precision strikes destroyed terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and eliminated nearly 100 terror operatives at key bases in Pakistan. Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Operation Sindoor has carved out a benchmark in India's fight against terrorism and has 'set a new parameter and new normal.' Addressing the nation, PM Modi also referred to India conducting a surgical strike in 2016 at terror launch pads along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir and to the air strikes at a terror camp in Pakistan in 2019, and said that after the two operations, Operation Sindoor is India's policy against terrorism. Prime Minister said the Indian Air Force, Army, Navy, Border Security Force, and India's paramilitary forces are constantly on alert. (ANI)
