In the wake of a tragic bridge collapse on the Indrayani river in Pune's Maval tehsil, resulting in four deaths and 18 injuries, district authorities have announced plans to dismantle structurally unsafe bridges.
The bridge in the Kundamala area, constructed in 1993, collapsed on Sunday as it was deemed unsafe, yet warning signs were disregarded by over 100 individuals.
Collector Jitendra Dudi declared the removal of such structures, citing the ineffectiveness of barricades, while stating new bridge construction will begin within weeks.
