A major landlide near Khandala tunnel affected traffic on Mumbai-Pune Expressway on Monday morning. Loose mud and rocks slid down the hills at Khandala, and blocked the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
Cars, trains and planes are running late on account of the vigorous monsoon activity, which is expected to continue in the next two days.
However, the officials believe that the traffic is going to be normalized within the next 48 hours.
Landslides are very common in the Mumbai Pune Expressway during the monsoons that occur in Maharashtra every year in June and last for three months. Τhe highest rainfall is usually recorded during July and August.
