A landslide occurred around 6pm in New Kasara Ghat on the Nashik-Mumbai highway due to continuous rain throughout the day on Friday. The entire road was closed as a result. Fortunately, no vehicles were passing at the time of the collapse, averting a major accident.
Immediately after the incident, the route patrolling team promptly reached the spot upon receiving a helpline message. The team efficiently removed the stones and restored one lane of traffic within minutes. As a precautionary measure, barricades were placed around the affected area. Additionally, an earthmover was called to remove all debris and restore smooth traffic flow on the highway.
