Usually, common people term such incidents the 'will of God'. .. The administration did not adopt the standards for testing, monitoring, and control that are required while carrying out the repair and maintenance of the public property. Just look at the agreement signed between Orewa company and Morbi Municipality to operate the suspension bridge. The contract says that the company can increase ticket rates, and use bridge for commercial purposes, and additionally, government agencies would not interfere in the company's work.

#BharatJodoYatra NDTV Offers An Insightful Glimpse into Its Innards https://www.ndtv.com/video/shows/truth-vs-hype/truth-vs-hype-anatomy-of-rahul-gandhi-s-bharat-jodo-yatra-665587 the video report presented by Sreenivasan Jain, one of the rare figures in the mainstream electronic media who is strikingly competent, remarkably balanced and not known to be compromised: Incidentally, his father was a very well-known and respected Gandhian economist: LC Jain. His mother, Devaki Jain, is an eminent Gandhian-feminist economist.While he's, quite justifiably, known as a TV journalist who has done a number of (courageous) investigative report, I, for one, remember him for his 'The Myth of Big Retail' (at < http://www.sacw.net/article2859.html >) penned by him when the issue of the FDI in retail was being passionately and acrimoniously debated.

This video report must be the first by any mainstream media outlet -- more than two months since the launch.

Here are a few more insightful glimpses, of course put out, more recently, by the Yatra organisers themselves:

The numbers joining the Yatra or cheering it on are, no doubt, quite impressive. From the very beginning. And, appearing to be swelling even further as the Yatra progresses. But, more than the numbers, it's the spirit that's most heartening. The extent of both has, reportedly, surprised even the organisers of the Yatra.
It's probably during a chitchat with Dilip D'Souza -- a journalist-activist from Mumbai -- Rahul Gandhi had, very rightly, observed that the element of spontaneity is even more important than organised mobilisation. In the event, there appears to be no dearth of spontaneity either. People are joining in from all corners -- physically and metaphorically.

Apart from all these, the Yatra is offering and trying to evolve a new idiom for mass mobilisation. What's essentially a protest march is shot with a carnivalesque mood.
That, for so many, must be quite baffling. Even Rahul Gandhi is presenting a very radically different model of a public "leader" -- warm, intimate and humane -- so starkly different from the gross, distant and macho 56".

But, to be sure, the fight on hand is too difficult. "India" is virtually racing towards the abyss. The Yatra is, as yet, only a (growing) ray of hope.
