Fatal Accident at Siddharth Garden

A tragic event unfolded on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at Siddharth Garden in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where a section of an old wall unexpectedly collapsed, resulting in the deaths of two women. Initial reports indicate that both victims were employees working in the garden. The deceased have been identified as 35-year-old Swati Khairnath and 38-year-old Rekha Gaikwad. Additionally, five other individuals sustained serious injuries in the incident.




Due to the storm, chaos erupted in the city, disrupting normal life for a period. The Siddharth Garden area was particularly hard hit by the sudden weather changes. As the storm began, visitors were evacuating the garden when a wall near the dome at the main entrance collapsed due to strong winds, burying three individuals under the debris. Local citizens and authorities promptly initiated rescue operations, and the injured were rushed to Valley Hospital. Unfortunately, doctors reported that the two women had succumbed to their injuries before receiving treatment, while one person remains in critical condition.




Police Commissioner Pravin Pawar stated that an official complaint from municipal authorities is awaited before a formal case can be registered. He informed reporters, "We are waiting for the Municipal Corporation to file an official complaint. Once that is done, we will proceed with filing a case and taking necessary legal actions against those responsible."

On the same day, another weather-related incident occurred in Bhagat Singh Nagar, where a fallen tree severely injured a woman, who has since been admitted to a private hospital for treatment. The municipal head emphasized the need for increased caution to prevent such accidents amid unpredictable weather conditions.




These incidents have raised concerns regarding the structural integrity of public infrastructure in the city, especially during the monsoon season. Officials have assured that thorough reviews and preventive measures will be implemented in the coming days.
