ITANAGAR: At least 50 people were feared killed when a suspension bridge over the Kameng river collapsed at Seppa in East Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh on Saturday evening.
Superintendent of Police Kime Aya said the casulties occurred when villagers, who had set out to hunt, were crossing the bridge at around 5:30pm.
The entire bridge collapsed with all those on it falling into the river, he said.
He said two persons managed to swim to safety but around 50 others were feared dead.
The swift current in the river was hindering rescue operations, Aya said.
Sachs thanks Brand for boosting his career with prank sex call
London, May 5 (ANI): Andrew Sachs has expressed his gratitude to Russell Brand for his radio-prank sex call because the scandal boosted his career.
The 78-year-old had been due to be a phone-in guest on a late-night radio show with RJ Brand and DJ Jonathan Ross.
On being unavailable, he had received four messages on his home phone from the pair claiming the former had slept with his granddaughter, Georgina Baillie.
The October incident, in which Brand spoke of his prior sexual relationship with the goth-styled model while Ross passed lewd comments, had led to a record number of complaints and criticism resulting in the suspension of both presenters from their positions at the BBC Radio 2.
And Sachs has now thanked the two for bringing his profile back to the limelight with the row.
“I came out of it very well. My profile’s up. Great! They did me good. Thank you very much,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying. (ANI)
