Infrastructure company IVRCL, which had the contract for the collapsed Vivekananda Bridge in Kolkata, has said, "It's an act of God."

"45% work was left, one girder missed and second one fell. It is nothing but God's act," said IVRCL Infrastructure's KP Rao. "This has never happened before, we are also in shock," he added.

However, the share of the company fell 11% after the incident in which 14 people have died and more than 150 are feared trapped under the bridge.

So far, 82 people have been rescued, Indrani Roy/Rediff.com reported.
