Landslide Closes Kelghar Ghat Road, Disrupting Access to Mahabaleshwar
A major landslide at Kelghar Ghat on the Satara-Mahabaleshwar Road in Maharashtra has led to the closure of one of the two main routes to the hill station. The landslide blocked the road with rocks and mud, halting traffic and prompting debris clearance efforts involving authorities and volunteers. The alternative route via Wai remains open. Officials have urged motorists to avoid the affected road until it is declared safe, with no reopening timeline announced. The incident coincides with heavy monsoon rains causing disruptions across India.
