Pune, 25th October 2024: A landslide occurred in Dive Ghat on Thursday, 24th October, around 5:30 PM. Fortunately, no injuries or casualties were reported. The sudden landslide happened at the third turn while traveling from Wadki towards Saswad.
Heavy rainfall in the ghat area has caused springs on the mountain to flow, resulting in soil slipperiness. As a safety measure, a trench has been dug into the side of the mountain.
One lane of the road was blocked due to the landslide. Drivers and travelers removed smaller stones, while they waited for local authorities to handle the larger stones.
As a result of the debris, one lane of the road was obstructed, leading to reduced traffic flow on the other side and causing a kilometer-long traffic jam. Given the landslides and heavy rainfall in the ghat area, tourists and travelers are advised to exercise caution while traveling through the region.
