Mumbai: 350 shifted, one injured as rocks rain down at 2 spots – Times of India

Mumbai: Rocks started sliding down the hilly area of Ambedkar Nagar in Malad (East) after a few intense showers on Tuesday, prompting authorities to shift around 350 residents to a municipal school. A landslide in Saki Naka injured one man the previous night.
Some low-lying areas, such as subways, saw water-logging on Tuesday.
In Palghar district, three youths who were being swept away in the flooded Jai creek in Gholvad were rescued by locals. The police said the condition of one of them was stated to be serious and he had been moved to a hospital in Umergaon.
Around 100 villagers from Dundiyapada, Babultalao and Marwad in Bordi, Dahanu, were shifted to government schools as heavy rain flooded the villages and cut them off from urban areas. Food packets and drinking water were given to the villagers, who were told to spend the night in the schools.
The BMC disaster management cell said that at 10.43pm on Monday, rocks and soil fell on a public toilet in Saki Naka and injured one person, Jivasacha Shah (47). He was taken to the BMC-run Rajawadi Hospital, treated and discharged.
Two landslides in July had claimed 29 lives in Mahul and Vikhroli. In the Bharat Nagar slum of Mahul, 19 people died and five were seriously injured in the overnight landslide. In the Surya Nagar area of Vikrohli, 10 people died.
After the heavy rain on Tuesday, water-logging was reported in the Vile Parle subway. Parts of Andheri and Jogeshwari also reported water-logging.
Officials said that the water was cleared as soon as the intensity of the rain reduced, though slow-moving traffic and jams were reported in many parts of the city.
