Six workers die after a portion of an under-construction bridge collapses in Uttar Pradesh during a storm, according to multiple reports. The incidents occur in Hamirpur, where residents say construction work is underway when severe weather hits the area. Soon after the storm begins, parts of the bridge fail, with supporting pillars reportedly collapsing and debris falling onto the work site. Several workers are said to be trapped under the rubble. Reports differ slightly on the figures for those trapped and feared, with one account stating three workers are trapped and others saying two workers are feared trapped. Rescue efforts are carried out by local responders and authorities to clear the debris and locate any survivors. The deaths are attributed to the collapse during the storm, as the bridge structure is being built at the time of the incident. Authorities have not been described in the provided summaries as assigning a confirmed cause beyond the timing with the storm and the failure of the bridge’s under-construction components.
