THERE is a famous bridge that connects the city of Sangli with the rest of the world on the river Krishna called Irwin Bridge. Built in the early 1900s, named after then-Viceroy Lord Irwin, it became a reality after the devastating floods of 1914 and 1916. It is also said that the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Late Vasantdada Patil, who led the freedom struggle in Western Maharashtra, himself jumped into the river from Irwin Bridge when he was chased by the British army. The red-coloured stone bridge, which is close to completing 100 years, has seen multiple floods since its completion. Ask anyone from Sangli and they will tell you how special that bridge is.
