Three days after a fatal billboard collapse in Mumbai, another such incident occurred in Pimpri-Chinchwad near Pune.
The hoarding fell on parked vehicles, causing damage but no injuries.
Videos show emergency responders working to clear the area.
This collapse highlights concerns about the structural stability of billboards, as a similar incident in Pimpri Chinchwad last year resulted in five deaths.
Despite requests from the civic body, many billboard owners have yet to submit structural stability certificates.
The authorities are urged to take immediate action to ensure the safety of such structures and prevent further tragedies.
Strong winds are believed to have contributed to both the Mumbai and Pune collapses.
Both incidents occurred within a short time frame, raising questions about the adequacy of billboard regulations and enforcement.
Further investigations are needed to determine the exact cause of the collapses and to implement measures to prevent future accidents.
