Complaint Filed Over MTDC Instagram Reel Promoting Hazardous Kumbhe Waterfall Site
Nearly two years after social media influencer Avani Kamdar died at Raigad's Kumbhe Waterfall, wildlife researcher Anand Mohite filed a complaint against the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) for promoting a hazardous rock pinnacle in an Instagram Reel without adequate safety warnings. Mohite alleged that comments warning about the dangers were deleted. MTDC stated the Reel aimed to showcase scenic beauty, not encourage access to restricted areas, and has since archived the video, committing to include safety advisories in future posts.
