Landslide occurs in Ratnagiri’s Nivali taluka causes congestion on Mumbai-Goa Highway

A landslide took place at Nivali taluka in Ratnagiri district, leading to the interruption of traffic on the Mumbai-Goa highway. There are long lines of vehicles on both sides of the highway. The police have reached the scene to clear the traffic, and work is currently in progress. This incident has caused significant inconvenience for commuters in Mumbai.

As per the information provided, continuous heavy rainfall has been reported in the Konkan region. As a result, the Mumbai-Goa national highway has been significantly impacted, leading to disruptions in traffic flow.

It is worth noting that the influx of tourists from Mumbai and Pune to the Konkan region is substantial, particularly during frequent holidays. Nevertheless, the disruption caused by the heavy rains has affected the traffic on the highway. Urgent measures have been taken to commence the removal of soil from the road, with administrative officials promptly responding to the situation upon receiving reports of debris on the highway.

As per the information received, traffic police personnel have been deployed to the location to address the traffic congestion issue. Additionally, the Ratnagiri-Pali road has been blocked due to the heavy rainfall. Consequently, vehicles have become stranded in the Kapadgaon and Naglewadi areas along the highway. The heavy rain has caused water to directly flow onto the road, exacerbating the situation.
