The local government in India's western state of Gujarat says at least 132 people have been confirmed dead in Sunday's collapse of a pedestrian suspension bridge.

A senior official of the Gujarat government released the updated death toll on Monday.

Local footage of the accident in Morbi showed people swimming for safety or clinging to parts of the bridge.

Multiple local media outlets reported that the bridge had been reopened just days ago after being renovated. They added that the death toll could climb further, as a large number of people were crossing the bridge at the time of the disaster.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to Twitter, pledging all-out rescue efforts and support for injured people and bereaved families.
