Bridge collapse kills at least two people in India - with several others swept away in river

At least two people have died and more than 30 are injured after a bridge collapsed in India, officials have said.

Maharashtra's chief minister Devendra Fadnavis added that a number of people were swept away after the bridge - over the Indrayani river in the western Indian city of Pune - collapsed on Sunday.

He added on social media that "some people got swept away, so a search operation is underway on a war footing to find them".

The minister said six people have been rescued while 32 were injured, with six in a critical condition, and that the National Disaster Response Force had been deployed, with other agencies directed to remain on high alert.

It comes four days after an Air India flight crashed less than a minute after taking off from Ahmedabad airport in northwestern India, killing at least 270 people.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which was carrying 53 Britons, crashed into a doctors' hostel in a residential area moments after taking off.

And earlier on Sunday, a helicopter carrying Hindu pilgrims crashed in a forested area several miles from the Kedarnath pilgrimage route, killing seven people on board.

That accident happened within minutes of the helicopter taking off, officials said, on what should have been a 10-minute flight.

The helicopter was flying to Guptkashi, a prominent Hindu pilgrimage site in the Himalayas, from the temple town of Kedarnath in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand.
