Al menos 140 personas mueren en el derrumbe de un puente en India

October 31, 2022 - Por lo menos 141 personas murieron el domingo en el estado occidental de Guyarat, India, cuando un puente peatonal colgante en la ciudad de Morbi colapsó, hundiéndolos en las aguas del río.

The 230m Julto Pul (or the Hanging Bridge) on the Machchhu river was built in 1880, during British rule in India. The popular tourist attraction reopened a week ago after repairs, according to the BBC.

Officials have not yet said how many people were on the bridge when tragedy struck at around 18:40 (13:10 GMT) on Sunday, but estimates put it between 400 and 500.

More than 177 people have been rescued, officials said.
