Toll from Cable Bridge Collapse in India Reaches 132

Monday 31 October 2022
Toll from Cable Bridge Collapse in India Reaches 132

Alwaght- The death toll from collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge in India has grown to at least 132 people, authorities said as rescue personnel recovered more bodies from the Machchhu river on Monday.

The tragedy occurred around 6:30pm local time on Sunday, when hundreds of people were on the structure, according to Home Minister of Gujarat Harsh Sanghavi. The rescue operations continued overnight. Many people were admitted to hospitals in critical condition, but some had succumbed to their injuries after being rescued. 

“The death toll in the bridge collapse incident has gone up to 132,” a senior official told Reuters on Monday, expressing fear that the toll could rise even further.

The 230-meter bridge was built in the 19th century, during British rule. It reopened to the public this week, after a six-month renovation. It is believed the structure was unable to support the weight of the large number of people walking on it.

India’s President Droupadi Murmu has expressed condolences to all those affected, saying the tragedy in Morbi has left her “worried.”

“Relief and rescue efforts will bring succour to the victims,” the president said on her official Twitter account, which is run by her office.
