Loni Kalbhor, 4th June 2023: A tragic incident took place today evening near Ramdara in Loni Kalbhor, Pune, when a stage erected for a bullock cart race collapsed, resulting in the death of one individual and leaving three others seriously injured.
The deceased has been identified as Balasaheb Kashinath Koli, aged 46, from Ninam Padli in Satara district.
