Malshej ghat, which is a vital link to Mumbai, Thane and other areas of Maharashtra, has been closed for vehicular movement due to a mudslide, which was caused by a rock that fell around 2 am on Tuesday due to the rain.

The landslide, blended with fog and the resultant low visibility, led to a tempo accident earlier on Tuesday. The driver, identified as Amol Dafale, was injured in the incident and rushed to nearby Mauli accident and multi-speciality hospital for treatment.
