A devastating landslide struck Raigad district in Maharashtra late on Wednesday night, leaving five people dead and triggering fears for the safety of several families trapped under the debris.
The incident occurred at Irshalwadi village in Khalapur Tehsil, a tribal hamlet situated close to the popular trekking destination, Irsalgad fort. The region has been battered by incessant rains over the past 24 hours, further complicating rescue efforts.
As per official reports, at least 15-20 families are feared trapped in the landslide, which has affected a significant portion of the village. Authorities and rescue teams have been working tirelessly to locate survivors and retrieve those trapped under the debris. As of now, 75 people have been successfully rescued from the disaster site.
Industries Minister Uday Samant, who is personally supervising the rescue operations, stated, “It is a very remote and inaccessible area, which is hampering our efforts. As of now, 4 people have lost their lives, and 25 people have been rescued. However, more people are feared to be trapped, and both the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and district administration are making relentless attempts to rescue them.”
The situation remains critical as rescue teams work relentlessly to locate and save the trapped families. The authorities are urging everyone to exercise caution and follow safety advisories during this period of heavy rainfall and potential landslides.
