The bridge has been under reconstruction for the past two years. The repairs were completed last week. And four days later on Sunday, about five hundred people gathered on the bridge while celebrating the Diwali holiday, the structure collapsed. More than 350 people were trapped in the water.
The 230-meter structure was built by the British in the 19th century.
