Analysed 6 Jul 2026·17 sources analysed·Pune, India·General
Monsoon Landslides in Pune's Maval Tehsil Cause Deaths and Disrupt TrafficPreviousNext

Heavy monsoon rains triggered multiple landslides in Pune district's Maval tehsil on July 6, burying a house in Patan village and causing at least three deaths, including members of one family. Rescue operations led by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) recovered one body and continue searching for two missing persons. The rains also disrupted Mumbai-Pune road and rail traffic, prompting evacuations of over 500 people from vulnerable areas. Authorities remain vigilant amid ongoing rainfall and related incidents across the region.
