Palghar: Landslide Occurred In Mokhada Taluka Due To Continuous Heavy Rainfall

Mokhada, 9th September 2023: Mokhada Taluka has been experiencing relentless heavy rainfall over the past two days, bringing both relief and challenges to the region. While the kharif crop has been revitalised, the downpour has disrupted daily life and caused infrastructure issues.

The deluge took a toll on the Khodala-Vihigaon state highway, leading to the unfortunate collapse of part of the Vaitrana Ghat and the obstruction of the road by fallen trees on Thursday night. As a result, both-side traffic on this route came to a temporary halt, inconveniencing commuters.

Furthermore, the newly constructed Botoshi-Markatwadi road faced a landslide due to the incessant rains, further exacerbating the traffic woes in the region. The authorities have taken swift action to address these road-related challenges, but the disruptions persist.

In addition to transportation issues, heavy rains have also led to a prolonged power outage in Mokhada Taluka, causing considerable inconvenience to residents. The lack of electricity has affected daily routines and essential services.

On a brighter note, the heavy rainfall has proven to be a boon for the kharif crop, bringing joy to the farming community. Farmers are delighted with the rejuvenation of the agricultural prospects in the region.

As the rains continue, the local authorities are working diligently to restore normalcy to Mokhada Taluka.
