Vadodara bridge collapse toll rises to 18

The death toll in the collapse of a bridge over the Mahisagar river in Gujarat’s Vadodara district climbed to 17 on Thursday, July 10, while the search for missing persons is still underway, officials said. Meanwhile, the Congress lambasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-BJP government, saying it was “incompetent” and marred with “corruption“.

In a post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said the Gujarat bridge collapse incident was a result of “leadership crisis and corruption”. As many as six vehicles had plunged into the Mahi river after a key section of a 39-year-old bridge caved in near Mujpur village, 27 km from Vadodara. Built in 1986, the bridge near Mujpur links central Gujarat to Saurashtra and is heavily used by trucks and tankers from industrial zones in Padra and Ankleshwar. Many commuters favor it to avoid tolls on the Ahmedabad-Vadodara Expressway.
