During PM Modi’s visit to the site of the accident, he was briefed by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, Minister of State for Home Harsh Sangahvi and other officials about the October 30 incident.

One of the injured individuals, Ashwin told the media that PM Modi spoke to him for about five minutes during which he 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.
