Yet another landslide occurred in Borivli East on Wednesday, causing a drainage line to break and leaving Metro commuters and residents of Rivali Park, a housing complex, fuming. A landslide at an excavation site adjacent to Magathane Metro station in the same area caused cracks to develop on a service road along the Western Express Highway, which were observed on Monday. 

The following day, Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) announced that the exit on the northern side of the Metro station would be temporarily closed and the affected area cordoned off. A BMC official said they warned the developer to take immediate action to prevent further damage. Rivali Park comprises six 12 to 42-storey towers, all of which are adjacent to the excavation site and comprises approximately 700 apartments that house over 3,000 people.
