It was mud and mayhem at the landmark Hughes Road's Khareghat Colony on Wednesday. Residents of the 108-year-old Parsi Colony are living in dangerous conditions even as it rains relentlessly. On Wednesday, there was a mudslide scenario adjacent to building no. 5 of the colony. A portion of the hill behind the building collapsed and mud rolled down, smashed windowpanes of a room in a ground floor flat and entered through the grills. The colony, located on a slope, has 30 buildings.

Dr Shanaz Khodaiji and her son Zayaan said, "The mud started pouring in by 4 am on Wednesday. The affected bedroom is unoccupied and was shut. The mud smashed the windows and came in. We rushed to the room to see torrents of mud coming in. Even before we could fully understand what was going on, there was mud all over the floor, bed and walls. We had extensive damage inside our house."
