The death toll in the collapse of a bridge over a river in Gujarat's Vadodara district has gone up to 13 with the recovery of two more bodies, officials said on Thursday.

The police stated that ten bodies have been recovered so far, and nine-10 people were rescued. They also expect that the death toll could rise as the rescue and search operations continue.

Residents have blamed the administration for the disaster, claiming that repeated requests for repairing the decades-old bridge were ignored. Locals allege that despite warnings, the authorities failed to take action,
