In Pune, a bridge over the Indrayani River collapses, leaving over ten people thought dead.

A tragic incident occurred in Pune’s Maval taluka on Sunday when an old bridge over the Indrayani River at Kundamala collapsed while crowded with weekend tourists. The collapse, which took place around 3:30 PM, sent 25 to 30 people plunging into the swollen river as heavy rains had raised water levels and may have weakened the bridge’s structure. So far, 5 to 6 individuals have been rescued, but 10 to 15 remain feared trapped or missing, according to Pimpri Chinchwad Police. Rescue operations are ongoing with local police, fire brigade, and NDRF teams deployed to the site. Further updates are awaited as efforts to locate all victims continue.

Amid the ongoing war, Manipur pupils’ exam access situation gets worse.

A growing educational crisis in Manipur’s Churachandpur district has left government job aspirants facing severe disadvantages as the ongoing ethnic conflict blocks access to nearby examination centres. Despite Imphal being just 62 kilometres away, security concerns and travel restrictions force students to undertake exhausting and expensive journeys to cities like Aizawl, Guwahati, and Agartala to sit for major national exams such as SSC, NDA, NEET, UPSC, and UGC-NTA. Many have missed crucial exams due to unaffordable costs, while those who manage to travel face unfamiliar environments and travel fatigue that undermine their performance. Educators and advocacy groups warn that without urgent steps—including establishing a permanent examination centre in Churachandpur—an entire generation could be sidelined from national opportunities. They stress that equitable access to exam centres is now a necessity, not just a convenience.

Manipur: Tension between Meitei and Kuki people in Imphal East is sparked by a farmland dispute.

A clash erupted over farmland near Sadu Lampak village in Imphal East district, Manipur, on Sunday morning between Meitei and Kuki villagers. The confrontation began around 10 am when a Meitei farmer attempted to plough his field but was challenged by Kuki villagers, who claimed the land as their own. Meitei villagers allege that Kuki settlers from nearby Sopheng have encroached on over 20 sangam (about 12.4 acres) of paddy fields abandoned since ethnic violence erupted in May 2023. The situation escalated as more people arrived, resulting in injuries—including a Meitei youth struck by a catapult shot. Security forces quickly deployed to the scene, using tear gas and mock bombs to disperse the crowd. Authorities confirmed the situation is now under control and urged the public to avoid spreading rumors.
