On record

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.

The official record states: "Disaster Management Minister said the bridge was "meant only for pedestrians" but was overloaded by excess tourist footfall; CM Fadnavis said it "had been declared dangerous by the district collector before the incident.""

No ratings, reviews or visiting tips are published for this entry. It is documented as a matter of public record, not as a tourism recommendation.

“This is not satire. Indrayani River footbridge collapse is a matter of public record, and at least 4 people did not survive it. We publish it so it is not forgotten between news cycles.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

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.
