Heavy monsoon rainfall triggered multiple landslides in the Bhor Ghat section, disrupting road and rail connectivity between Mumbai and Pune. Traffic on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the old highway was suspended after landslides and flooding, while train services were severely affected as debris blocked all three railway lines near Thakurwadi, Khandala and Monkey Hill. Central Railway cancelled, diverted and regulated several long-distance trains.
