Fatal Collapse — 4 dead#01
Kundamala/Kundmala picnic spot, Maval tehsil, near Talegaon · Bridge

Indrayani River footbridge collapse

A 32-year-old iron pedestrian bridge over the Indrayani river collapsed on June 15, 2025 under the weight of roughly 100 tourists/picnickers, despite warning boards restricting two-wheeler and overload use. Four people died and 18 were seriously injured; CM Devendra Fadnavis confirmed the district collector had already declared the bridge dangerous before the tragedy and a contract for a replacement bridge had begun.

Under Repeat Repair#02
Pimpri to Dapodi metro corridor (with proposed Nigdi extension) · Metro station

Pune Metro Pimpri–Dapodi corridor cost and time overrun

Mahametro claimed the Pimpri-Dapodi route was "100% complete," but junction work at Dapodi, Morwadi, Sant Tukaramnagar and Kasarwadi stations remained unfinished, with the metro operating only up to Phugewadi; the Nigdi extension was further delayed pending Union Defence Ministry clearance over its alignment near the Dehu Road Ammunition Factory.

Frequently Asked

Visitor questions

What is the number one place to see in Pune?

Scroll to the list. It runs newest first, by the most recent year on record for each entry, so whatever the city has managed most recently sits at the top. Entries with no documented year are filed at the end.

Are these attractions safe to visit?

Define 'safe'. Daylight visits are advised. Maintain distance from open manholes, leaning structures, and anything under active repair. We accept no liability; neither does anyone else, which is rather the theme.

How much did these projects cost?

Where public figures exist, they're listed on each attraction's page, sourced from tenders, budgets and RTI replies. Several projects have no publicly disclosed final cost — that's noted too.

Can I suggest an attraction for this guide?

Pune produces new landmarks faster than we can rank them. Submit a photo and location via the 'Submit a Blunder' button, and our desk will verify and add it.
