The death toll1 from a stampede at a Hindu festival in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh has risen to 109, local officials have said.

印度中央邦某地在庆祝印度教节日时发生踩踏事件,死亡人数已上升至109。
 
Many were crushed after panic broke out on a bridge near the Ratangarh temple near the town of Datia. Others died when they jumped from the bridge.
 
Meanwhile, funeral pyres(火葬用的柴堆) have been burning throughout the night with many of the victims already cremated2.
 
Hundreds of thousands had gathered for the festival of Navratra (nine nights).
 
Officials said the stampede may have been sparked by a rumour3 that the bridge was about to collapse4.
 
"The latest information we have from the ground is that 109 people killed and 133 were injured," news agency AFP quoted Anand Mishra, an officer in the local police control room, as saying on Monday morning.
 
"We recovered the bodies from the river and from where they were crushed to death," Mr Mishra added.
 
The accident happened at about 09:00 on Sunday. The victims were mostly women and children, officials said.
 
The narrow bridge is about 500m long and had only recently been rebuilt following another stampede in 2007.
 
Local official Sanket Bhondve said the immediate5 priority was to provide relief to the injured.
 
Hindu festivals in India are notorious for deadly stampedes.
 
In the past year, dozens have died in three similar tragedies.
 
In 2011 more than 100 died at a festival in the southern state of Kerala.
 
Inside Jodhpur's Mehrangarh Fort, more than 220 people were killed in 2008 in a stampede at the Chamunda Devi Hindu temple.
