2 people killed, 32 others injured after iron bridge collapses over river at tourist destination in western India

New Dehli – At least two people, at least two people, were wounded and 32 others wounded after an iron bridge collapsed over a river on Sunday in a famous tourist destination in the western state of Maharashtra, India.

Prime Minister Devindra Fadenfis wrote at least six people in critical condition, on the social media platform X. Local media reported that dozens of tourists were on the bridge when they collapsed, and many closed in the swollen river.

Fetunafis said that six people were rescued and that the intensive search process was continuing as some people were washed away.

The accident occurred in the Kondamala area in the Bonn area, which has witnessed heavy rains over the past few days, which gave the river a fixed flow, according to India’s journalist.

The sky was not raining when the bridge collapsed in an area that Picnickers frequented, according to the news agency.

Police said that teams of national disaster response force and other search and recovery units conducted rescue operations.

India’s infrastructure has always been marred by safety concerns, which sometimes leads to major disasters on highways and their bridges.

In 2022, a century -old cable suspended bridge collapsed to a river in West Gujarat, which led to a decrease in hundreds of water and killed at least 132 in one of the worst accidents in the country in the past decade.
