At least 32 people have died and 132 injured after a bridge collapsed at a political event in India's tea-producing region of Darjeeling.

More than 150 villagers were standing on the bridge for talks by local separatist leaders on Saturday night when it collapsed.

Officials say the victims fell at least 70ft (21m) into the fast-flowing Rangeet Khola river.

The army, fire brigade and police helped residents in the rescue effort.
