  "summary": "A 45-year-old woman, Salma Salauddin Pathan, died after an iron structure used for a Dahi Handi festival collapsed on her in Old Sangvi, Pune. The incident occurred late on Friday night when the structure, which had been erected for the festival, began to fall as it was being dismantled. Pathan was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival. Her son, who is a mandal volunteer and member of the local organising committee, has refused to file a complaint against the organisers. Police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and are investigating the incident to determine if any negligence was involved. This tragedy has raised concerns about safety during the setup and dismantling of temporary structures used for public festivals, such as Dahi Handi, which is a popular event during Janmashtami celebrations.",
