4 Dead, 51 Rescued After Tragic Incident on June 15

On Sunday, June 15, a tragic incident occurred at Kundmala in the Maval area near Talegaon Dabhade in Pune, where an old bridge built over the Indrayani River suddenly collapsed. The location is a well-known tourist spot, and many people were present at the time of the incident.

A total of 55 people fell into the river due to the collapse. Out of them, 51 were successfully rescued. Unfortunately, four people lost their lives, and their bodies have been identified. Earlier reports feared that 25 to 30 people may have drowned, but the final figures confirmed four fatalities.

Local police, disaster response teams, and villagers quickly reached the site to begin rescue operations. Efforts were made under difficult conditions, as heavy rainfall over the previous two days had caused the river’s water level to rise, making rescue work more challenging.
