A landslide has blocked a major road in Nandurbar district, disrupting traffic as Maharashtra experiences severe rainfall. Authorities have issued a red alert for the region.
A massive landslide on the Nandurbar–Khandwa road on Thursday has halted traffic for several hours, forcing motorists to detour through smaller villages. The slide, triggered by continuous downpours, buried a stretch of the highway under mud and rocks.
Local police and the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) have cordoned off the affected section and are working to clear debris. No casualties have been reported, but the blockage has delayed emergency services and routine transport.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for the entire Nandurbar district, warning of further heavy rainfall and potential landslides. Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid traveling on the affected routes until authorities declare the road safe.
Officials expect the road to reopen by the end of the week after a thorough clearance operation, but they urge commuters to monitor weather updates and follow local advisories.
