Ravindra Chavan, a former Public Works Department minister, claims he had sanctioned Rs 8 crore for new bridge at same spot in October 2024

The collapse of a 30-year-old footbridge over the Indrayani river in a Pune village, which killed four people, occurred just five days after a work order for a new bridge was issued, according to a report by NDTV.

Following the collapse of an old bridge over the Indrayani river in Pune, which resulted in four deaths, former minister Ravindra Chavan is demanding an investigation into why a sanctioned replacement bridge was not constructed.
