Maharashtra, July 5: Due to heavy rains, there has been a landslide in Kemburli near Mahad, Maharashtra, as a result of which the Mumbai-Goa highway has been blocked. According to the latest ANI report, traffic has halted, and the clearing work is underway.

In the latest IMD prediction, there will be heavy rainfall in the next 24 hours in some areas of Mumbai; a 3.38-metre high-tide will also be there at 4:33 pm. The local train services on Central and Harbour Line are also running late by 15 minutes.

A similar situation happened a week back, when there was a landslide due to the incessant rains, thus causing massive traffic on that route. The landslide had exposed the poor quality of construction work of the highway. On that day, traffic snarls were seen from the start of Karnala sanctuary (Mumbai) to Kalhe (Goa side).
