The prime minister, who is in Washington, US, also reviewed the rescue operations.
"Shocked and saddened by collapse of under construction flyover in Kolkata. Took stock of the situation and rescue operations," Modi said in a tweet.
"My thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives in Kolkata. May the injured recover at the earliest," he said in another tweet.
