At least six construction workers were killed and two others are feared still trapped after a partially built bridge collapsed during a severe storm in Hamirpur district, Uttar Pradesh (a densely populated state in northern India), late on Thursday. The bridge, spanning the Betwa River between Morakandar and Kandaur villages, gave way while labourers were on site, with several workers caught beneath debris after taking shelter under a crane during heavy rain. Rescue teams reached the scene and operations were ongoing as of Friday morning, with authorities working to locate those still unaccounted for.
