Gujarat Bridge Collapse Death Toll Rises to 16
On July 9, 2025, a 40-year-old bridge over the Mahisagar River in Vadodara, Gujarat, collapsed, causing multiple vehicles—including trucks, vans, and an autorickshaw—to fall into the river and resulting in at least 16 deaths, with several others missing. Rescue operations by local authorities, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) are ongoing but face significant obstacles from strong currents, deep mud, heavy rainfall, and a precariously balanced tanker. The bridge, which served as a critical commuter link between Vadodara and Anand, had long been known to be in poor condition, with repeated calls for repair or closure ignored by authorities. Survivors reported the bridge shaking dangerously under heavy loads, while locals advocated for a replacement rather than patchwork repairs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Gujarat government have announced compensation for victims' families and ordered a technical investigation into the causes of the collapse. The incident has renewed concerns over infrastructure safety in Gujarat, recalling the deadly 2022 Morbi bridge collapse.
