141 people have died in a collapse of a suspension bridge in India. Two others are missing, the local news agency IANS reported Monday on the basis of the police.
The collapse occurred Sunday evening (local time) in Morbi, Gujarat state. Many victims fell into the water. The rescue work is still going on. 177 people were rescued, local television channel NDTV reported.
The cause of the bridge collapse was initially unclear and appropriate investigations were announced. A local official told NDTV that local authorities have not yet inspected the bridge after renovations and have not given the green light for reopening.
According to media reports, the construction may not have withstood the load of the many people. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office and the government of the stricken state of Gujarat announced compensation for the victims’ families. (vw/sda/dpa)
