| India: Kolkata flyover collapses 'killing at least 10' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| At least 10 people have been killed and several others injured after a flyover under construction collapsed in the eastern Indian city of Kolkata (Calcutta), officials say. | |
| Many people are feared trapped under the concrete and steel bridge, which fell on a busy road. | |
| Images showed residents helping in the rescue effort with their bare hands. | |
| Construction projects in India have long been hit by safety issues, experts say. | |
| The flyover is surrounded by high buildings and is in an area of intense traffic. | |
| It has been under construction since 2009 and has missed several deadlines for completion, Reuters news agency said. | |
| The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder says the accident took place in one of Kolkata's most densely populated neighbourhoods, with narrow lanes and shops and houses built close together. | |
