Railway Bridge Under Construction Collapses In India,Many Feared Dead 

At least 26 people have been killed and more feared missing after a railway bridge under construction collapsed in north-eastern India, officials said.

The incident occurred near the town of Sairang, in the state of Mizoram.

Up to 40 workers were at the site when part of the bridge collapsed, according to local media reports.

The cause of the incident is not yet clear and the railway authority has opened an investigation. Three people have so far been rescued.

According to the Prime Minister Narenda Modi in a statement, "All possible assistance will be given to those affected," He said. 

The government will pay some 200,000 rupees (£1,900; $2,400) to the next of kin of those killed, it added.

Mizoram Home Minister Lalchamliana also sympathised with the families of the victims

 "Words cannot express the depth of sorrow and sympathy for the families affected by this tragic event," 

The Khamrang-Sihhmui railway line will be 51km long and is due to be completed in December after work began nearly two years ago.

Accidents on these kinds of construction sites are not uncommon in India.

In October last year, more than 140 people were killed when a pedestrian suspension bridge collapsed in India's western state of Gujarat.
