The landslide killed at least 12 persons.
"Acting on the directive of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had sent three Bobcat-make machines from its solid waste management department sites at Mahim, Juhu, and Mulund," the BMC release stated.
"These backhoe loaders, with greater manoeuvrability due to their small size, are being ferried by vehicles along with an earth-mover from the civic hydraulic department," the BMC statement added.
CM Eknath Shinde is at the site since Thursday morning. "CM has asked the BMC to send this equipment on a war footing," a civic statement said.
Meanwhile, the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) disaster management cell chief Yasin Tadvi said, rescue teams and equipment have moved towards the site of the landslide in the early hours of the day.
"A team of the Thane Disaster Response Force, fire engines from CBD Belapur, Vashi and Khoparkhairane in Navi Mumbai, and personnel along with 10 ambulances have been dispatched," he said.
