Vasai, July 18, 2026: A bridge leading towards Vadghar village in the Medhe Gram Panchayat area of Vasai East collapsed suddenly on Saturday afternoon at around 3 pm.
At the time of the incident, two vehicles travelling on the bridge fell along with the collapsed structure. Fortunately, no loss of life was reported, but the vehicles suffered major damage.

Villagers alleged that despite repeated complaints to the authorities, no action was taken, and the bridge eventually collapsed due to the excessive load.
