Landslide in Mumbai: Multiple Homes Collapse in Bhandup; Dramatic Video Surfaces

A dramatic landslide occurred in Mumbai's Bhandup area in the early hours of Wednesday, July 23. Due to heavy rainfall, mud on the hilltop area slid down behind Omega High School in the Khindipada region, causing multiple houses to collapse. However, no casualties or injuries were reported.

The incident occurred when a large retaining wall built on a hilltop collapsed after developing a massive crack due to a landslide. The hill is approximately fifty feet high, and a similarly tall safety wall had been constructed on it a few days ago.

Five houses situated above the collapsed safety wall came crashing down. Several densely packed shanties were built on this hill. Although five houses fell along with the cracked wall, they had been evacuated in time, preventing any loss of life or injury.
