Shastri Bridge in Indore collapsed on Nov. 3, 2025, due to rat burrows weakening its foundation, but no one was injured.
A section of Indore’s 75-year-old Shastri Bridge collapsed on November 3, 2025, creating a 5x6-foot crater due to extensive rat burrowing that weakened its foundation, officials said.
The Indore Municipal Corporation attributed the failure to decades of neglect and a nearby unauthorized tea stall that attracted rodents, which tunneled into the structure.
Over 200 rat tunnels were previously found during repairs, and more than 20 new ones were discovered after the collapse.
No injuries occurred as traffic was light.
Emergency crews filled the crater, and officials announced a Rs 75 lakh repair plan, including redesigning the footpath and drainage to prevent future infestations.
