Three months after the landslide that affected the plush Malabar Hill area owing to the shutting of NS Patkar Marg and BG Kher Marg, also known as Hughes Road and Ridge Roads, respectively, the BMC has now floated tenders to carry out the repairs of Hughes Road. However, repair and opening of Ridge Road still remains to be a distant dream. The BMC has estimated this tender to be worth Rs 47.28 crore.

Following heavy rainfall on August 6, a landslide had occurred at Malabar Hill's Doongerwadi area which damaged the roads there. After consultation with IIT-B and opening only the south side of Hughes road for traffic, the BMC has now floated tenders to appoint contractors for restoration and repairs of NS Patkar Marg and rejuvenation of the Malabar Hill area. NS Patkar Road which was earlier a mastic asphalt road has now been planned to be made of cement and concrete, as mentioned the tender.
