June 15 (Reuters) - At least two people died and a number were swept away after a bridge over the Indrayani river in the western Indian city of Pune collapsed on Sunday, Maharashtra state chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said.
"Some people got swept away, so a search operation is underway on a war footing to find them," he said on social media platform X, adding 6 people have been rescued while 32 were injured, including 6 in critical condition.
He said the National Disaster Response Force is deployed on-site, and other agencies have been directed to remain on high alert.
