Even as teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Coast Guard and Navy search for missing victims and vehicles at the Savitri river, hundreds of locals and passing motorists gazed for hours from the riverside.”We saw the news of the bridge collapse on TV. Since we were passing by, we decided to stop by and watch the helicopters flying low over the river in their search operations,” said a Pune resident, who stood there for over two hours despite cops urging motorists not to stop and create a blockage.
