Mumbai, India – At least six people have died and four others sustained injuries following a landslide in Mumbai, India. The incident was reportedly triggered by relentless heavy monsoon rains that have affected the region.
The landslide occurred in a densely populated neighborhood within the city. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene to conduct rescue operations. However, access to the affected area was reportedly hampered due to the narrow lanes characteristic of the neighborhood, complicating the efforts of rescue teams.

Information on the current status of the injured individuals or the ongoing rescue and recovery efforts was also not provided.

Authorities typically issue advisories and take preventative measures during these periods, though the scale of rainfall can sometimes overwhelm preparedness efforts.
