In one of the worst accidents in India in the past decade, at least 141 people were killed and others critically injured when a newly-renovated suspension bridge in the western Gujarat state collapsed on Sunday, officials said.
More than 170 survivors were pulled from the river, and teams from the army, navy and air force were searching for others still missing, said Jigar Khunt, an information department official in Gujarat.
The death toll is expected to rise even further.
The bridge gave way as it could not handle the number of people on it, officials told PTI.
Only last week, the bridge had been reopened to the public following months of renovation work, reports say.
Hundreds of people were said to be on the bridge over the Machhu River in the town of Morbi at the time of the collapse. Local TV channel Zee News put the number at 400.
Footage broadcast by the TV channel showed dozens of people clinging onto the cables of the collapsed bridge as emergency teams struggled to rescue them.

«Around the second 0:03 I could see a homosexual idiot in a white track suit spread his arms to both sides of the bridge structure and start rocking back and forth like a fag and that caused the bridge to collapse. That homosexual idiot dragged hundreds of people to hell with him.
