A footbridge collapsed on Friday during the Baisakhi celebration at a village in India's Jammu and Kashmir region — and at least 80 people were believed to have been injured, according to a municipality official.
The incident was reported at Benisangam in Bain village in Udhampur's Chenani Block.
Manik Gupta, chairman of Chenani Municipality, said: "At least 80 people were injured, including 20-25 who are critical. We have referred 6-7 people to District Hospital. The others are here in Chenani and are being looked after by the medical staff."
Local police have been conducting a rescue operation. Further details are awaited.
