A nearly century-old suspension bridge on Machchhu river in Gujarat's Morbi city collapsed on Sunday evening due to which several people standing on it fell into the river.

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.

As per the recent toll, 32 people have been declared dead in the incident so far. The toll is expected to increase.
