A demand for an investigation into the delayed construction of a new bridge over the Indrayani river in Pune has been made by former Maharashtra minister Ravindra Chavan. This comes in the wake of four fatalities and 18 injuries when an aging bridge collapsed.
Chavan emphasized that despite Rs 8 crore being sanctioned for its construction last year, the project remained unstarted. This investigation seeks to uncover reasons behind the delay and hold any responsible officials accountable.
Further controversy surrounds the work order for the new bridge, with allegations of irregularities such as backdating. This has intensified the spotlight on administrative actions leading up to the tragic incident.
