Gujarats crumbling bridges: How many more deaths will it take?
AHMEDABAD: Yet another bridge collapse in Gujarat has jolted the state, exposing deep-rooted negligence and crumbling infrastructure. The 40 year-old Gambhira Bridge in Vadodara district fell apart early Wednesday, dragging multiple vehicles into the Mahisagar River. While the government rushes to give reassurances, a haunting question persistshow many tragedies will it take before accountability replaces apathy? Gambhira Bridge Collapse: 9 Dead, 9 Rescued The Gambhira Bridge, connecting Central Gujarat to Saurashtra via Padra taluka in Vadodara district, collapsed early Wednesday morning in Mujpur Nazir. The bridge, known to be in a dilapidated condition for years, finally gave way dragging down two trucks, a pickup van, an auto-rickshaw, and an Eco car into the swollen Mahisagar River. Rescue teams pulled out nine bodies, while nine others were rescued alive. The bridge had shown warning signs of structural decay, yet no action was taken to shut it down or carry out urgent repairs. Public Fury Grows: Who Will Be Held Responsible? The tragedy has sparked public outrage. Citizens are questioning why the bridge was not closed despite its poor condition. Why are officials always reactive instead of proactive? Time and again, bridges across Gujarat have collapsed, and yet, the cycle of negligence, empty promises, and lack of accountability continues. Assurances after each disaster have failed to turn into meaningful reforms or penalties for those responsible.

Cracks in the slab were ignored until it was too late. The bridge gave way during metro construction work. Ambedkar Bridge, Mehsana : Repeated Pleas Ignored Despite repeated requests for repair, the Ambedkar Bridge connecting Mehsana-Visnagar ring roads One part sunk on February 14 2024.

Conclusion: Decay, Death, and Denial The recurring collapse of bridgeswhether newly built or agedreveals a systemic failure in Gujarat's infrastructure governance. Contractors cut corners, tenders are mishandled, warnings go unheeded, and officials continue to pass the buck. Behind every collapsed structure is a trail of ignored complaints, wasted taxpayer money, and shattered families. Unless real accountability is enforced and urgent structural audits conducted, Gambhira will not be the last bridge to falland Gujarat will keep mourning preventable deaths.

Her tears werent just falling they were screaming. Crowds have swarmed the site, watching helplessly as rescue teams and police search the murky depths. But no rescue can reach the shattered heart of that woman. Her cries echo a grief that words cannot carry.... a grief that will haunt the river and the silence that followed the crash.

Gujarat becomes first State to join Cruise Bharat Mission, eyes coastal tourism boom
AHMEDABAD: Striding towards maritime tourism dominance, Gujarat has become the first state in India to officially align with the ambitious Cruise Bharat Mission. This strategic move marks a critical milestone in the nations quest to build a globally competitive cruise tourism ecosystem, positioning Gujarat at the forefront of India's coastal transformation. In a bold leap toward maritime tourism leadership, Gujarat has become the first state in India to formally align with the Centres ambitious Cruise Bharat Mission. Backed by its vast 2,340 km coastline and navigable Rivers like the Sabarmati and Narmada, Gujarat is now charting a new course to transform itself into a global cruise tourism hotspot. Despite having the longest coastline in the country, Gujarat has so far lacked a dedicated cruise terminal, unlike ports in Mumbai, Cochin, Chennai, and Mormugao, which have already advanced cruise infrastructure. But with its formal alignment under the Cruise Bharat Mission, the state is now racing to bridge that critical gap. Launched by Union Minister of Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal on September 30, 2024, the Cruise Bharat Mission aims to catapult India into the league of top cruise tourism nations, with a tenfold increase in sea cruise traffic targeted by 2029. In line with this vision, Gujarat has rolled out an ambitious plan proposing multiple cruise circuits along its western coast. These circuits are anchored around major destinations such as Diu, Veraval, Porbandar, Dwarka, Jamnagar, Okha, and the scenic Padala Island alongside the already operational Ghogha Hazira Ro-Pax route. To streamline the cruise experience, the state has divided its coastal routes into three strategic clusters: Padala IslandRann of Kutch PorbandarVeravalDiu DwarkaOkhaJamnagar Each cluster is carefully designed to connect religious, cultural, and natural attractions within a 100 kilometre radius making shore excursions swift, scenic, and tourism friendly. With this strategic alignment, Gujarat not only sets a precedent for other coastal states but also stakes its claim as a frontrunner in India's cruise tourism revolution.

Minority rights are not charity, they are fundamental: Owaisi, Rijiju spar over minority benefits
HYDERABAD: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday engaged in a war of words on social media, with the former slamming the BJP leader over his statement that India is the only country where the minorities get more benefits and protections than the majority community, saying minority rights are fundamental rights, not charity. The Hyderabad MP, in a post on 'X', said, You are a Minister of the Indian Republic, not a monarch.@KirenRijiju You hold a constitutional post, not a throne.Minority rights are fundamental rights, not charity. India's minorities are not even second-class citizens anymore. We are hostages, Owaisi alleged. The AIMIM chief attacked Rijiju on the Waqf (Amendment) Act, and asked can Muslims be members of Hindu Endowment Boards? No. But your Waqf Amendment Act forces non-Muslims onto Waqf Boards and allows them to form a majority. He further said the BJP-led central government discontinued the Maulana Azad National Fellowship, defunded the pre-matric scholarship and limited the post-matric and merit-cum-means scholarships. All because they benefited Muslim students, he said. Owaisi said Muslims are now the only group whose numbers have fallen in higher education and their presence in the informal economy has gone up. They have been among the worst-hit by your government's economic policies, he alleged. Muslim-concentrated areas are the ones most starved of public infrastructure and basic services, he claimed. We are not asking to be compared with other minorities of other countries. We are not asking for more than what the majority community gets. We are demanding what the Constitution promises: social, economic, and political justice, Owaisi said. Replying to the AIMIM president, Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs and Minority Affairs Rijiju in a post on 'X' said, Ok...How come Minorities from our neighbouring countries prefer to come to India & our Minorities don't migrate? Prime Minister @narendramodi ji's welfare schemes are for all. The schemes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs provide additional benefits to the Minorities. Hitting back, Owaisi in a social media post said, If we don't migrate it means we are happy. Actually, we are not in the habit of fleeing: we did not run away from the British, we did not run away during partition, and we did not run away because of Jammu, Nellie, Gujarat, Moradabad, Delhi etc massacres. Our history is proof that we neither collaborate with our oppressors nor do we hide from them. We know how to fight for our democratic rights and we will inshallah. Stop comparing our great nation with failed states like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal & Sri Lanka. Jai Hind, Jai Samvidhan! Thank you for your attention in this matter!.

Indias horticulture crops under risk as China restricts supply of plant nutrients
After shocking India's automobile sector by restricting rare earth magnets, China has now imposed restrictions on the supply of important Water-Soluble Fertilisers (WSF) ingredients used by Indias horticulture sector. WSF, a class of fertilisers easily absorbed by plants, is applied through drip irrigation, sprinklers, or foliar spray, delivering nutrients directly to the leaves or plant instead through the soil. The restriction could jeopardise the viability of India's horticulture industry, which is larger than the country's grain economy and contributes around one-third to the agricultural GDP. The major horticulture crops that would be impacted are grapes, pomegranates, bananas, and polyhouse farming, where exotic fruits and vegetables are grown for exports. Moreover, foliar spray is also being used on crops like wheat to sustain nutrients. Over the past two months, China has invoked the China Inspection Quarantine (CIQ) -- an opaque inspection delay tactic -- which has sharply declined the supply of essential ingredients such as Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), Calcium Nitrate (CN), and Potassium Nitrate (PN). India relies on China for approximately 80 per cent of its speciality fertiliser imports during peak seasons; however, data shows that imports have nosedived. For instance, the import of MAP was 12,525 MT in 2023 and 21,214 MT in 2024, but it declined to 2,842 MT as of June 1. Similarly, CN imported in India from China was 223,941 MT in 2023, and it dipped to 49,311 MT till June 2025. The import of PN was 27,913 MT in 2024, which reduced to 16,837 MT. China has put a soft blockade through CIQ, which unofficially banned India while continuing to supply it to other countries, said Vinod Goyal, Secretary of the Soluble Fertiliser Industry Association (SFIA). India relies on China, importing over 80 per cent of the total required 4 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) of ingredients due to the better quality and competitive prices offered by China compared to other producers in the Middle East countries and Russia. Lalitkumar Periwal, one of the local manufacturers of WSF in Gujarat, said the country has only two months of stock. China had also put restrictions in 2023 but removed them in 2024 when we imported a record amount, which supported us in 2025, but again it put restrictions, said Periwal. He emphasised the need for immediate policy intervention, such as removing WSF from the Essential Commodities Act to allow local manufacturing. Goyal also underlined concern like the existing disparity on policy is encouraging import from China while local manufacturers face huge hurdle. Chinese products can be supplied in any state with one license while domestic manufacturers need multiple licenses in every State, which restricts Make in India products, he said. India's horticulture sector is key to agricultural growth and needs to be protected. While it has grown to cover over 13 per cent of cropped land, it contributes to around one-third of the countrys agricultural GDP. Additionally, it surpassed the country's grain production. Following are countries where India import ingredients for Water Soluble Fertilisers.

In a striking indicator of this transformation, women led milk societies have seen a 39% surge in daily milk collection, now touching 57 lakh litres per day. At the governance level, 82 women have taken director roles on the boards of various dairy unions in 2025 making up 25% of all board members and marking a decisive shift in representation. This momentum is mirrored in earnings: women run milk societies clocked a phenomenal 43% growth in annual income, pushing their collective revenue past Rs 9,000 crore. The overall rise 21% in the number of womens dairy societies cements Gujarats model as a blueprint for cooperative driven womens economic empowerment nationwide. In the last five years (20202025), women run dairy cooperatives in the state have jumped by 21%, growing from 3,764 to 4,562 societies. This shift is not just numeric, but transformational.

The estimated daily revenue of women run dairy societies has leapt from Rs 17 crore in 2020 to Rs 25 crore in 2025 pushing annual turnover past Rs 9,000 crore. Thats a sharp Rs 2,700 crore rise, marking a 43% growth in five years. Beyond profits, women are taking the reins of power. As of 2025, 25% of board members 82 out of the total in Gujarat's milk unions are women, playing an active role in decision making. Female membership in dairy cooperatives has climbed steadily too; of the 36 lakh total milk producers, 12 lakh (32%) are now women. Leadership is expanding in rural cooperative governance as well. The number of women in the management committees of rural cooperative societies rose by 14%, from 70,200 to 80,000.

AHMEDABAD: As heavy rains lash Gujarat, serious concerns are rising over the crumbling road infrastructure across major cities. From pothole-ridden stretches to waterlogged highways, commuters are facing daily ordeals. Notably, the state government has itself admitted that 83 km of National Highways and 243 bridges have been damaged this monsoon. Amid mounting complaints flooding social media, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel convened a high-level review meeting today to address the alarming state of roads. While assuring that there is no shortage of funds, the CM stressed the urgent need for durable and sustainable repair work, raising questions over the existing quality and accountability in road construction. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel ordered urgent, war-footing repairs across the states monsoon-hit infrastructure. Reviewing the alarming condition of roads from rural interiors to urban centres and critical national highways, the CM held a high-level meeting in Gandhinagar, demanding immediate restoration without waiting for the rains to stop. Calling roads the main artery of development and daily life, Patel directed that not even a single dry day or holiday be wasted. Repairs must continue without pause, he said, urging swift patchwork, quality control, and accountability, especially for damage under defect liability. Contractors responsible for poor work must be held liable, he emphasised. With 243 bridges affected and 83 km of National Highways damaged 25 km of which still await repair, the CM asked for seamless coordination between NHAI, Panchayats, Municipal Bodies, and the Road Construction Department. Civic commissioners joined via video conference, as Patel pressed for immediate solutions to urban problems like waterlogging, broken underbridges, and battered drains along with long-term planning. A 24x7 control room at Nirman Bhavan has been activated to track field progress and fast track emergency responses. Patel reiterated the state governments full commitment to ensure citizens do not suffer due to bureaucratic delays or substandard repairs, warning departments to act fast and deliver on public expectations.
PATNA: Opposition INDIA bloc has called for 'Bihar bandh' on July 9 to protest against ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the State. Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will also participate in the bandh. RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, also the chairman of INDIA blocs coordination committee for Bihar assembly elections, said on July 7 that the Opposition has given a call for 'Bihar bandh' to vent their ire against the ongoing SIR of voters list ahead of assembly elections. We will enforce chakka jam on July 9. Both the Election Commission and government will be on target of the Opposition. It is quite surprising that EC is changing its orders every hour. As a result, BLOs and other officials engaged in the verification exercise are confused, he told the media. EC clarifies no change in instructions for Bihar electoral roll revision; says first phase of SIR completed Former Deputy Chief Minister alleged that Patna office of the EC was not functioning properly. It is just like a post office and cant take any decision at its own. A delegation met EC on July 6 to discuss SIR related issues, yet there is no response, he added. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad went a step further and alleged that two Gujaratis (read PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah) were trying to snatch voting rights of around 8 crore residents of Bihar. In a post on X, Lalu said, These two Gujaratis are opposed to Bihar, Constitution and the Indian democracy. Arise, raise your voice and save the Constitution and Indian democracy. Lalus emotional post has created a flutter in political circles. Lalu Jis poor health has compelled him to remain silent. Had he been physically fit, he would have grabbed the occasion and upped the ante against the ruling dispensation, said an RJD leader. SC to hear on July 10 pleas challenging EC's decision to undertake revision of electoral rolls in Bihar
