Local media reports said on Monday the death toll in a pedestrian bridge collapse in the western Indian state of Gujarat has risen to 141, while about 177 people have been rescued.
Officials said rescue operations were underway throughout the night.
The British-era pedestrian bridge collapsed Sunday evening, plunging hundreds of people into the Machchhu River in Morbi town about 241 km west of Gandhinagar, the capital city of Gujarat.
The cause of the bridge collapse was not immediately known, but local authorities suggested overcrowding as the reason.
