Harsh Jhalavdia and Meera celebrated their marriage ceremony 5 months in the past. The couple who have been running as instrument engineers in Bangalore made up our minds to talk over with Harsh’s fatherland Rajkot for the pageant of Diwali.

On Saturday, they visited Harsh’s aunt in Morbi along side Harsh’s oldsters. After having dinner at her position, they made up our minds to head for a walk throughout the newly-renovated suspension bridge, referred to as the swinging bridge (jhulto pul) in Morbi.

The British-era suspension bridge snapped in part round 6:30 PM and over 140 other people fell into the Machchhu river.

The circle of relatives hadn’t gotten even midway around the bridge when it began shaking a bit of. Sagar recounts how they come to a decision not to pass additional after their infant began crying in fright. “We took a selfie and left the bridge. We were given into our automotive and drove again. Inside quarter-hour, the scoop of the bridge cave in reached us. If our Netra had no longer cried, we, too, would have died on this tragedy,” Sagar says.

The circle of relatives then posted their selfie taken at the bridge on social media to soothe their panic-stricken family.
