Landslides causing deaths are reported as routine, indicating potential infrastructure and disaster preparedness failures.
A landslide in Maharashtra's Pune district killed three family members after a portion of a hill collapsed onto houses in Patan village. The incident disrupted traffic on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and old highway, forcing authorities to suspend movement. NDRF teams have recovered two bodies so far, with efforts continuing to locate the third. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reported that nearly 70% of debris has been removed from the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and one lane is open for traffic. Heavy rainfall in Maharashtra has also caused disruptions to rail services and prompted a weather alert warning of intense showers, strong winds, and high tides.
