A district administration official said the rescue operations had been paused at midnight as the river currents had become stronger.

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.

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.
