A tragic incident unfolded in Maharashtra’s Pune on Sunday when a bridge over the Indrayani River in Dehu, Maval taluka, suddenly collapsed around 3:30 PM, sweeping away 20 to 25 tourists.

The area is a popular destination, particularly during the monsoon season.

So far, six deaths have been confirmed, while 5 to 6 people have been rescued. However, 10 to 15 others are still feared trapped in the river’s strong currents.
