Newly Constructed Bridge on Sindh River for the purpose of reaching the Ratangarh Mata Temple.

On 13 October 2013, 115 pilgrims were killed and over 100 injured in a stampede on this bridge.

The tragedy was allegedly caused by rumour that the bridge on Sindh River, through which the pilgrims were heading towards temple, was collapsing after a tractor trolley rammed into it and fell into the river. There were more than 50,000 devotees around the spot.
