Heavy rains in Mumbai led to a tragic accident where two people lost their lives in the Vikhroli area in the early hours of Saturday, August 16.

The situation occurred after intense spells of rain led soil and stones slide from the hilly area and fall on one of the huts in the Jankalyan Society, Varsha Nagar, Vikhroli Park Site, Vikhroli (W). The landslide-like situation left several locals injured before they were sent to Rajawadi Hospital.

As per the information by the Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB), soil and stones slid from the adjoining hilly terrain and collapsed onto a hut, trapping the people inside the house. However, as soon as the authorities were informed about the incident, emergency services, including the MFB, police, and ward staff, were rushed to the spot.
