Many missing after India bridge collapses on key Goa highway

No less than 22 individuals are lost after a parkway span interfacing the city of Mumbai with the shoreline resort condition of Goa in western India caved in.

Authorities said two transports conveying travelers dove into an overflowed stream after the breakdown at an opportune time Wednesday.

Cop Sanjay Patil told the Associated Press that rescuers had not recognized any vehicles or survivors.

Substantial downpours are upsetting salvage operations. Movement has been redirected to another extension in the region.

Operation Singh, head of the state-run National Disaster Response Force, said 80 rescuers, including jumpers, had been raced to the region.

He said early reports demonstrated that no less than two transports, going on the old scaffold, fell into the Savitri stream which was overwhelmed by substantial storm downpours.

"The transports are not traceable inside a kilometer of the extension. Because of downstream present, the transports may have been cleared further away," Rakesh Ranjan of the National Disaster Response Force told the BBC.

In March, a flyover under development in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta) broken down, executing no less than 20 individuals and harming almost 100.

What's more, in 2011, exactly 32 individuals kicked the bucket and 132 were harmed after an extension given way at a political occasion in Darjeeling in West Bengal.
