In western India, a suspension bridge spanning a river fell on Monday, killing over 130 people, according to local media.
According to the report, the incident happened on Sunday night in Morbi, which is a state of Gujarat in western India.
The bridge, which had just recently reopened following maintenance work, collapsed, killing 141 people but saving 177 others, according to the report.
According to a police officer, 132 people perished, 100 were hurt, and some were still missing.
According to the report, up to 500 people were on the 232-meter-long suspension bridge when it collapsed.

The office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that compensation would be given to the relatives of the slain.
