Following the first rainfall of the season, a landslide occurred in Haji Malang or Shri Malanggad in Ambernath which resulted in the death of a man. The incident, which happened on Monday morning, injured two and they are currently receiving treatment at Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar.  The deceased, sources said, was attempting to save his son's life.

The area around Haji Malang or Malanggad shrine is infamous for unauthorised constructions. Being an open space, the area poses significant risks; despite the dangers, many families continue to reside there. The crackdown by the forest department over the issue had not been sustained.
