A video, which was captured on a cellphone, shows a large portion of the 160-metre bridge and its pillars collapsing and getting swept away in the heavy current. Officials present at the spot said 76 metres of the bridge on 10 pillars were washed away by flood waters.
The bridge was a direct connection for many villagers of Himachal's Nurpur Tehsil with neighbouring Punjab.
