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.
On record
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.""
