At least two dead after bridge collapses in India tourist destination

At least two people died and 32 others were injured after an iron bridge over a river
collapsed at a popular tourist destination in India’s western Maharashtra state, the
state’s top elected official said Sunday.
At least six people were rescued and hospitalized in critical condition, Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis wrote on social media platform X.
The incident occurred in the Kundamala area in Pune district, which has witnessed
heavy rains over the past few days, giving the river a steady flow, Press Trust of India
reported.
It was not raining when the bridge collapsed in an area frequented by picnickers, the
news agency reported.
Police said teams of the National Disaster Response Force and other search and
recovery units have undertaken rescue operations, Press Trust reported.
