While interacting with media persons, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis said, “Bridge collapse is a saddening event. We have ordered a high-level inquiry. This bridge was constructed in 1980. This bridge was found ‘fit’ in the structural audit. We are finding out who is responsible for this audit. We will take strict action against those responsible. Ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh to the kin of the deceased and Rs 50,000 to the injured. A preliminary inquiry report will come soon.”

Earlier, in a tweet, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he was anguished by the loss of lives. Also, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that he was pained to hear about the unfortunate incident. Take a look:

On the other hand, Union Ministers including Rajnath Singh and Piyush Goyal also tweeted and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

In the meantime, from BMC to Railway and vice versa, the blame game has been started. In a statement, the Ministry of Railways had earlier stressed that it was not responsible for the bridge maintenance. “The bridge was under the ambit of BMC (Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation). However, we’re extending all our supports to the victims. Railway doctors & personnel are cooperating with BMC in relief and rescue operations,” the Railways ministry said.
