Financial aid for Pune bridge collapse victims
A footbridge over the Indrayani River near Pune collapsed on Sunday, leaving four dead and over 50 injured.
The bridge, built over 30 years ago, had warning signs saying it was unsafe, but about 100 people were still on it when it gave way.
The Maharashtra government is offering ₹5 lakh to each victim's family.
Rescue teams pulled out 51 injured people
Rescue teams quickly pulled out 51 injured people.
Officials say the bridge wasn't meant for big crowds or vehicles—warnings that were sadly ignored.
Now, a five-member panel will investigate what went wrong, looking into safety lapses and missed warnings.
Government's advice to people
The government is urging everyone to be extra cautious around old bridges, especially during monsoon season.
They're also pushing for regular safety checks so tragedies like this don't happen again.
