Pune's Kundamala bridge collapse, killing 4 and injuring 50, sparks criticism over government delays in bridge construction and safety measures.

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.

The 32-year-old iron pedestrian bridge on the Indrayani river had reportedly been declared unsafe. It collapsed on Sunday afternoon in Pune's Maval tehsil, prima facie due to crowding by tourists who ignored the warning board at the spot, PTI reported.
