IT professional & son die in bridge collapse just a month after moving into new home in Pimpri Chinchwad
Pune: The Mane family's joy of shifting to a new home in Pimpri Chinchwad about a month back was cut short when the Sunday's bridge collapse in Kund Mala claimed the lives of 32-year-old Rohit Mane and his six-year-old son Vihan.
IT professional Rohit, originally from Kolhapur, called Pimpri Chinchwad home for seven years and shifted to his dream home at Nakshatram Housing Society with his wife, Shamika, and son last month. "He was very happy as he entered the new house," Amit Bhoite, a close family friend, recalled.
When the 30-year-old bridge collapsed under the weight of a huge crowd, Rohit and Vihan were trapped under the debris. After hours of rescue efforts, their bodies were finally recovered around 7pm.
Shamika, who suffered severe leg injuries, is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Nikhil Kadam, Rohit's brother-in-law, said, "We rushed to the site after receiving a call in the evening. We found Shamika at Pawana Hospital, but Rohit and Vihan were missing. Our worst fears were confirmed later that night when they were declared dead."
Tragic end to fun outing for two others
Chandrakant Sathale from Azadnagar in Wanowrie and Chetan Annappa Chaware, an employee at a private firm in Mahalunge MIDC, were among the other two victims of the tragedy.

Sathale, his wife, son and daughter reached Kund Mala for an outing on two-wheelers on Sunday. While his wife, son and daughter had stepped off, Sathale was still on the bridge when it collapsed. He was later rescued from under the debris and rushed to a hospital, where he was declared dead. "Sathale worked in a private firm at Ramtekdi in Hadapsar. His son, Sujit, completed his studies and recently got a job. Sathale's daughter is pursuing her studies, while his wife is a housewife," his brother-in-law Sandesh Gavhane told TOI.
Sathale's friend from Azadnagar said that he was a gentleman and his passing away was a huge shock.

My friend and I escaped with minor injuries, but Chaware didn't survive...His family members reached Pune on Monday and claimed his body."

These Zodiac Signs Most Likely To Get Divorced, Know Why?
A divorce occurs when two persons can formally and legally dissolve their marriage by filing for divorce when they decide they no longer want to be married. It can be emotionally challenging and impact not only the spouse but also their families and children. But for many, it's also a step toward pleasure and inner tranquility. Its not an easy decision but people take it when they are unable to handle things on their own or they lose respect in the relationships. This is a very harsh decision, when people decide to part their ways from their partner. Here are the following zodiac signs that might give preference to their mental peace and file for divorce. Zodiac signs that are likely to get divorced: Aries Aries is characterized by passion, boldness, and determination; however, they can also be impulsive and impatient, especially during emotional conflicts. They do not tolerate prolonged, quiet suffering. They thrive on intensity and deep connections, but when the excitement diminishes or resentment accumulates, they can quickly shift from warm to cold. Aries seeks an emotional bond with their spouse upon marriage. However, if they sense that the emotional connection has faded, Aries may find it more prudent to end the marriage. Gemini Geminis, when they reach a stage in their marriage where they believe that further investment of time and resources is futile, choose to part ways. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Additionally, if there is instability within the marriage, they are inclined to pursue divorce. Geminis often find it challenging to stay engaged when emotional expression stagnates. If the relationship fails to evolve, they may seek inspiration elsewhere sometimes without even realizing it. Leo Leos place significant importance on loyalty when they marry. They expect unwavering fidelity from their partner. However, if they discover infidelity, they will opt to file for divorce, as disloyalty is something they cannot accept in a relationship. Also they might endure certain situations for a time, particularly if their pride is involved. Yet, once they sense a lack of appreciation or disrespect, they will assert their value sometimes necessitating a fresh start. For a Leo, divorce signifies self-respect rather than a quest for revenge. Leos do not believe in breaking the relationships as they think relationships are not meant to be broken. Pisces Pisces are among the zodiac signs most prone to filing for divorce but only, when they feel their partner is withholding affection or being secretive and distant. If they feel undervalued or unsupported, they may withdraw quietly until there is nothing left. When Pisceans perceive a lack of participation from their partner in the marriage, they often feel isolated and decide to separate. For them, divorce can serve as the emotional reset they were unable to request openly.

Gulf of Oman incident sparks rumours: Are ships on fire near Strait of Hormuz amid Iran-Israel escalation?
Unverified reports circulated on social media on Tuesday suggesting that at least three ships were on fire in the Gulf of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz, adding a dramatic twist to ongoing Iran-Israel tensions. The claims, supported by photos purporting to show smoke and flames, come amid growing worries about the stability of a key waterway — through which nearly 20% of the world's oil flows — and the potential for escalation in the region. ET has not been able to independently verify these reports.

The incident — which unfolded about 22 nautical miles east of Khor Fakkan, close to the Strait of Hormuz — came at a delicate time, as tensions escalate between Iran and Israel. Live Events The two enemies have exchanged attacks for a fifth consecutive day, following a series of Israeli strikes on Iran last Friday, meant to deter Tehran from developing an atomic weapon. Unverified photos spark rumours Some social media users were quick to draw dramatic conclusions from the photos in circulation. 'Photos are currently circulating which appear to show three ships on fire off the coast of Iran in the Gulf of Oman, near the Strait of Hormuz. NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) Map appearing to confirm three fires in the Gulf of Oman,' a post on X read. — sentdefender (@sentdefender) Another account added: 'According to NASA FIRMS, there are three heat signatures coming from vessels in the Gulf of Oman, entering the Straight of Hormuz.' ET checked the FIRMS map and did not find such blots in the Gulf of Oman at the time of filing this story. Why the Gulf of Oman is a key flashpoint The Gulf of Oman is a strategically crucial waterway that connects the Arabian Sea to the Persian Gulf. The Strait of Hormuz, at its mouth, is a choke point for nearly a fifth of the world's oil. Iran's ability to close this strait could affect not just Israel and the USA, but energy markets globally. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, speaking through media outlets, insisted that the USA remained 'postured defensively in the region to be strong in pursuit of a peace deal.' In a social media post, Trump called for everyone to" immediately evacuate Tehran', alleging Iran had rebuffed a deal to curb its nuclear program.
