In connection with the tragic Pune Porsche accident that claimed the lives of two software engineers, the Pune District Collector has ordered the sealing of Cosie Bar and Black Bar, establishments allegedly frequented by the underage driver who was served alcohol. The driver’s father has been arrested following the incident. The minor perpetrator, who was initially granted bail, has been ordered to perform community service, write an essay on traffic accidents, and undergo counseling. Furthermore, the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra has expressed concern over the leniency of the punishment imposed by the Juvenile Justice Board. The owners of the two restaurants have been booked for serving alcohol to minors. The teenager’s father purchased the Porsche earlier this year, but it remained unregistered due to unpaid road tax.

The devastating Morbi bridge collapse, which claimed 135 lives, including 57 children, continues to haunt the families of the victims. Despite receiving compensation from the state and central governments, as well as the company responsible for operating and maintaining the bridge, they still seek justice and closure. Meanwhile, the tragedy has become a taboo subject in the ongoing Lok Sabha election campaign, with politicians avoiding any mention of it. The victims’ families, united under the Tragedy Victim Association (TVA), are fighting for accountability and punishment for the guilty. However, the overwhelming Patidar dominance in Morbi, including among the victims, has led to divisions within the community, with some expressing sympathy towards the accused. The political apathy and lack of action against those responsible have left many victims feeling disillusioned and questioning the value of their vote.
