Amid the heavy Mumbai rains, Maharashtra Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik emphasised that the safety of tourists needs to be prioritised during the monsoon. She suggested that dangerous or risky spots in the region should be closed down temporarily for people’s safety. 

Saunik made the remarks on Monday, a day after four tourists were killed in a bridge collapse in Pune.

To make sure that there are no unfortunate incidents that take place during the monsoon in Maharashtra, she said that “along with putting up sign boards at dangerous tourist spots, they should be temporarily closed until they are fully repaired with adequate security arrangements put in place.”
