The damaged bridge is an important road connection between parts of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. With the route closed, people travelling between Alirajpur, Gujarat and Baroda are facing delays and have been asked to use alternative roads until the bridge is repaired.

Officials said the bridge will remain closed until it is declared safe. Repair work is expected to begin after the water level comes down and engineers complete an inspection of the damaged section.

Heavy monsoon rain has affected several parts of western India in recent days, damaging roads and bridges and disrupting transport in many areas. Authorities have urged people to avoid travelling through flooded routes and follow traffic advisories.
