'Only a mesh stood between life and death': Pune residents say warnings ignored before Kund Mala bridge crash

A bridge over the Indrayani river in Kund Mala, a popular tourist spot in Maval, collapsed on Sunday after heavy rains, resulting in a tragic incident. Locals had long warned about the bridge's weak and narrow structure, built in the 90s, which was often overcrowded with tourists seeking scenic views.
