Goemakrponn desk VASCO: In a letter to GSIDC, Goencho Avaaz has demanded an investigation to fix accountability in view of the shocking and rapid deterioration and constant closures of the relatively new Atal Setu bridge.

At one press conference, one journo even asked him why he does not use security; he had humbly replied, “this is my…
