The road at Malabar Hill, which got damaged during the landslide in August, will be reconstructed within six months on an urgent basis. The cost of the construction is around Rs 50 crore, including Rs 1.26 crore consultation charges.

On August 5, heavy rain led to a landslide at Malabar Hill in which the retaining wall of B G Kher Road collapsed, badly damaging the road. The BMC formed a technical advisor committee, which includes professors from IIT, NMIMS, BMC officials and members from structural consultancy companies to study the condition of soil and road before reconstruction of the patch. The Geo Technical investigation has been completed as per the recommendation of the committee. The BMC will pay consultation charges of around Rs 45 lakh to professors and Rs 81 lakh to structural designers.
