Pune: A recent video of two young men making reels on the proposed Balasaheb Deoras flyover, which is under-construction, at Katraj in Pune has triggered public outrage and raised safety concerns.
Shiv Sena UBT leader Vasant More shared his dismay over the incident on social media, calling for immediate action.
According to More, the incident took place on the flyover at Katraj Chowk. "This morning, on my way to Holkar Garden, I was shocked by the sight on the flyover," More tweeted, emphasizing the lax safety standards being maintained at the construction site.
The video shows the two individuals standing at a perilous spot on the flyover, filming reels without any protective gear. Such reckless behavior poses a grave risk to their lives, prompting More to call for strict action against the flyover’s main contractor for failing to ensure safety.
Earlier in June, a video of a young woman, identified as Meena Salunkhe, hanging precariously from a building while holding a young man's hand to create a reel had gone viral, prompting Bharati Vidyapeeth police to file charges against them.
The duo, Meena Salunkhe and Mihir Gandhi shot the risky video on the roof of an abandoned building near the Katraj New Tunnel on the Pune-Bangalore Highway. The police had charged the youths with conspiracy and reckless behavior endangering lives.
The viral video shows the young woman holding the young man's hand and dangling from an old building, with three to four videographers present at the scene.
The video, shot on a derelict building near the Pune-Bangalore Highway, features the young man Mihir and girl Meena performing dangerous stunts. Titled "Grip Strength Check," the video shows the young woman hanging mid-air from the two- to three-story building while holding the man's hand.
