Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi instructed local authorities to conduct an urgent rescue operation.

Compensation will also be paid to the dead and injured. 

The Morby rope bridge is a historical structure built many years ago. 

After repairs and renovations, it reopened just four days ago on October 26, on the occasion of the Gujarati New Year.

The authorities claim that the bridge collapsed because it could not support the weight of the people standing on it.

Currently, the exact number of victims and dead is not established.
