Kolkata, Nov 02: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday questioned the inaction of central agencies like the CBI and ED in the Morbi bridge collapse tragedy which killed nearly 140 people. She also demanded a judicial probe into the incident.

"I won't comment on it as people's life is important than politics. I express my condolences. Many have died and many are still missing. A judicial commission should be made under SC to probe the Morbi incident," Mamata told reporters.

"Why are ED and CBI not taking action against criminals involved in the Morbi incident? They take action against only common people. Accountability should be fixed... I won't talk anything about the PM as it is his state... I will not talk anything about politics," she said.

PM Modi, who visited Morbi incident site, called for a detailed and extensive inquiry that will identify all aspects relating to this mishap.
