Hundreds of people fell into a river after a suspension bridge collapsed in India’s western state of Gujarat. According to the information so far, at least 40 people have died and 30 are hospitalized in critical condition.
“Many people have been rescued and some are missing,” said Amit Jala, a local official at the hospital where the injured have been taken.
The historic bridge, 230 meters long, was built during the British colonial era, in the 19th century. It had been closed for maintenance for six months and reopened five days ago.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is in his native Gujarat on a three-day visit, said he had instructed the state’s chief minister to immediately mobilize teams for the rescue operation.
