Repairs have started in earnest on a stretch of Hughes Road in South Mumbai that leads to Babulnath, which was damaged by a mudslide in September last year.

Torrential rain led to a mudslide adjacent to building No 5 at Khareghat Colony below the Doongerwadi hill area. A portion of the hill behind the building collapsed, and mud and debris came thundering down, severely damaging the road below. Motorists had to use the Tardeo artery due to the muddy mayhem. Earlier, in August, a landslide had severely damaged a part of Pedder Road.
