The landslide that killed two motorists near Adoshi tunnel on the Mumbai-Pune expressway on Sunday is being blamed on a weak net that could not prevent boulders and soil from falling onto the road. It has also come to the fore that the defect liability period of the net had ended in 2013 and proper care was not taken by the authorities to strengthen it.

Minister Eknath Shinde said that a new net with deeper rooting will be installed on the expressway soon to prevent incidents like the one on Sunday from taking place
