At least 44 highly vulnerable landslide-prone locations across Mumbai remain unattended, including 38 in the suburbs and six in the island city.

At least 44 highly vulnerable landslide-prone spots remain unattended across Mumbai, of which 38 are in the suburbs and six in the island city, leaving hundreds of citizens vulnerable.
These spots are among 249 landslide-prone spots identified across the city in 2018 in a survey conducted by the Geological Survey of India. This survey categorised 74 of these areas as vulnerable, 46 spots as highly vulnerable, and 129 as low-risk. However, the site of Wednesday’s landslide in Kurla does not feature in the list of these most vulnerable spots.
