Exactly 1 week ago I went there, but seeing the crowd and also it was sunny that day, we skipped going on bridge and river and headed back home, there were few police around the place also that day🤞🏻

The number keeps coming down with the latest update which is a good thing but also shows how the media is using cheap tactics to gain attention.

Ohhh god. Om Shanti. 

How many tragic news we can hear until it gets enough.

Seems to be in Kundmala area. Google Maps shows a very narrow iron pedestrian bridge. Hope everyone is safe and recovered soon. NDRF teams seems to be deployed.

I was there yesterday 🙂. Got stuck there for an hour due to heavy rains. While returning, I had to cross the bridge, it was scary walking on that. Whenever someone ran on it, it was shaking. It's really scary to think 24 hours later it collapsed 🥲. Nashib🤞

People were not allowed to use the bridge but these पावसाळी बेडूक and reeler/influenza people were going there just to show off on social media.

The bridge was so narrow only two people at a time could walk but people were riding their two wheelers on the bridge from both the sides

Yes we are sorry for their family but people need to use their common sense while travelling. tthis was just a small bridge, imagine what could happen in the mountain range. Just because you saw some reel on social media does not make you capable of doing it.

People do stupid things and then authorities ban these places for the entire rainy season, this happens every year.

Ps. If you are new here and trying to explore the region this season, remember sahyadri can be brutal if you do not use your common sense.

A corrupt system can only last for so long on historical wealth of infrastructure until cracks start to show. And boy are they showing at exponentially increasing rates. All while the babus exponentially increase their net worths.

Went there about 2 years ago. त्या bridge वरून जायची भीती वाटत होती. मला वाटलं होतं थोडी सुधारणा होईल. पण आज ही न्यूज अली. देशातला Tax कुठे जातो असा प्रश्न पडतो हे सगळं पाहून.

I just visited the place last week, I wasn't confident to walk on that bridge, it was really feeling like it would fall
And sadly it fell, may the people drowned be saved

First Pahalgam, then the plane crash, then the helicopter crash, now this. What a horrible time for us. Om Shanti.

I hate it so much, someone has to take responsibility for this.

swapko051

Monsoons and getaways near water bodies is a complete clown move. Never ever go near any kind of water bodies please, we can never estimate what nature’s fury will bring to us.
Social media has made people go crazy and obsessed with reels/stories. 
Pictures are no longer memories, they are only for showing off nowadays.

Altruistic_Run4280

I went here today.... about an hour before this incident...some people were charging for parking near that area.... I am a local so I knew that it was a scam and left ...but so many tourists were getting scammed... there's not even a proper parking space...they were charging to park our cars on the roadside lol...I'm pretty sure they don't own the road or the area ... It comes under the army area

We were about to go there, got delayed by 20 mins. Thank god. Praying for everyone affected:(

Are we just supposed to stay home ??? Going on vacations anywhere is signing your death warrant

Reasonable_Web1315

Petition to make public the names of firms working on public infrastructure and the 'public servants' responsible for issuing the tender, for quality control, and for maintenance.

There is no accountability or responsibility involved as long as these leeches hide behind the facade of the government.

We have a right to know who built that bridge and who oversees its maintenance.

One tragedy after another but ofcourse,those who died are common people.Their deaths won’t matter to the ‘messiahs’ of this country.

SenseAny486

The corruption in infrastructure development is catching up.

arsonfelony

The system, built on years of non-accountability and lack of questioning, is now crumbling. As people remain busy with divisive issues instead of real problems, we’re seeing it often.

RIP, sadly the price of a common man's life in this country is the same as common man's problems. No accountability and nobody cares

On a different thread someone said the bridge was closed but the tourists went on it ignoring the no entry signs to take pictures.

I went here almost 2 years back. That time also there were a couple of policemen stopping people from going on the bridge. So essentially, it has been over 2 years since the bridge was known to be weak but neither it was fixed, nor strictly banned to the public. What a sad state of affairs.

troubled_vairagi

Every time there is an incident citizens are blamed.

In this case the government is responsible and citizens are victims but the narrative is that citizens are responsible and the government is helpless.

If the bridge wasn't structurally sound why wasn't it rebuilt in time?
If it wasn't rebuilt in time why wasn't a gate or cement wall made to stop usage.

I pay lakhs in taxes every year, I always have to go to alternatives to government services such as hospitals, bribes and agents. We need to stop victim blame and catch those actually responsible.

Would the citizens be blamed if this was to occur in any other country we look up to?

Sometimes, I feel me and my family is only alive because we have (some) common sense and distrust for the government that I would finish my day and get in my my home ASAP.

Unmaintained since british times? That bridge looks like it was built in stone age. I'd rather cross the river barefoot and step on that one.

Shady_bystander0101

and people will still lick ajit pawars ass

chilliepete

same bridge were they warned not to visit as it was closed down due to lack of renovation?

Winter2712

Frankly is this the new India

I don't feel anything for them anymore.

Its been normalized everywhere.

Our Infrastructure is down.

With those Highways Construction all over the India, we are looking at uncertain Future.

With State and Central Government and those lapdogs known as  Politicians, how many constructions will be done right.

Or will it be like those tunnels where new roads break down in less than 3 months.

Feeling Scary , where are we even safe anymore

FIR should include Temple Committee, Parking people who collects fee from people visiting there.

What should we prioritise imposing Marathi on others or focusing on infrastructure issues...
