A deadly hillside collapse struck Gaushiya Chawl in Chirag Nagar, Kurla, during the early morning hours, killing seven people and injuring three others after a massive amount of debris crashed onto nearby rooms. The landslide sent rubble onto two to three rooms of the residential chawl, leaving residents trapped beneath the debris and triggering an urgent multi-agency rescue operation. The Mumbai Fire Brigade declared a Level-II emergency as teams rushed to the scene. Around 50 BMC workers joined NDRF personnel in the search, rescue and debris-clearing operation as authorities worked to determine whether more people remained trapped. WATCH

Mumbai was left paralyzed after receiving nearly 200 mm rainfall in just six hours on August 19. Streets turned into rivers, traffic came to a crawl, and train services were suspended as floodwaters wreaked havoc across the city. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis reviewed the situation with the disaster management department, warning that the next 48 hours will be crucial for Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg, which remain on high alert.
