"Structure shook for 5 minutes": Pune bridge collapse witness accounts
A bridge over the Indrayani River in Pune's Kundmala area collapsed on Sunday after heavy rains in the days prior, leaving two people dead and 32 injured. The spot was crowded with tourists when the bridge gave way, sending several into the fast-flowing river. Rescue teams from NDRF and local police are working hard to find everyone.
Rescuers have saved 5 to 7 people so far
Rescuers have saved 5 to 7 people so far, but around 10-15 are still missing—possibly trapped or swept away by the current. Authorities are asking everyone to steer clear of the area so rescue work can continue smoothly.
Maharashtra government announces compensation
