Heavy rainfall in the state has led to waterlogging and traffic snarl in several areas of Maharashtra. Amid all of this, traffic on the Mumbai-Pune expressway has also been affected after a landslide took place due to a boulder collapse near Adoshi tunnel in the Bhor ghat section towards Mumbai. As per a report in the Times of India, the landslide took place around 10.30 pm on Sunday. Notably, all three lanes of the Mumbai carriageway are blocked due to the boulders falling on the highway.
