Morbi, 30/10: A nearly century-old suspension bridge on Machchhu river in Gujarat’s Morbi city collapsed on Sunday evening, killing at least 32 people.
The bridge, which was recently reopened for public after renovation, collapsed as it could not bear the weight of the people standing on it, officials said.
“Due to the bridge collapse, several people fell into the river. A rescue operation is underway. There are reports that several people have suffered injuries. They are being rushed to hospitals,” local MLA and state minister Brijesh Merja said.
