Kota: Four days after an under-construction bridge collapsed in Kota, 15 people are still missing.

Rescue and relief workers have recovered 32 bodies so far.

Rajasthan government has now sought the help of sea divers and a team of experts from the Indian Institute of Oceanography is also scheduled to visit the accident site to assist in underwater rescue and relief operations in Chambal River.

The bridge was being built over the Chambal River near Kota in Rajasthan jointly by South Korea's Hyundai Engineering and Gammon India.

Gammon has been blacklisted by the Delhi government following a major accident at a Delhi Metro construction site earlier in the year.

A few officials of Gammon India and Hyundai have been arrested for causing death due to criminal negligence.

The 50-metre bridge collapsed on Thursday when about 50 labourers were at the scene.
