At approximately 3:48 a.m. on Wednesday, a landslide occurred at Gaushiya Chawl in the Chirag Nagar area of Ghatkopar, Mumbai. The incident prompted an immediate response from the Mumbai Fire Brigade and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).

According to official reports from the BMC, the collapse has resulted in at least two confirmed deaths. Emergency responders are currently on-site conducting search and rescue operations, as several residents are feared to be trapped beneath the debris. The area, characterized by dense residential structures known as chawls, is particularly vulnerable to such incidents during periods of heavy rainfall or unstable terrain. While rescue efforts continue, local authorities have not yet provided a definitive count of the total number of people missing or the specific cause of the ground failure. The situation remains fluid as crews work to clear the site and secure the surrounding structures to prevent further collapses.
