The devastating Morbi bridge collapse, which claimed 135 lives, including 57 children, continues to haunt the families of the victims. Despite receiving compensation from the state and central governments, as well as the company responsible for operating and maintaining the bridge, they still seek justice and closure. Meanwhile, the tragedy has become a taboo subject in the ongoing Lok Sabha election campaign, with politicians avoiding any mention of it. The victims’ families, united under the Tragedy Victim Association (TVA), are fighting for accountability and punishment for the guilty. However, the overwhelming Patidar dominance in Morbi, including among the victims, has led to divisions within the community, with some expressing sympathy towards the accused. The political apathy and lack of action against those responsible have left many victims feeling disillusioned and questioning the value of their vote.
