National Disaster Relief Force and Fire Department personnel walked on the washed out houses in the slums at Ambedkar Nagar and Pimpripada — located at a distance of about 1.5km from each other at Kurar village in Malad — to rescue people stuck under the debris.

A landslide following heavy rainfall through Monday night resulted in the collapse of a BMC-built retaining wall. About 20-25 houses were washed away alone in Pimpripada.
