Three people feared trapped in landslide in Mumbai
Mumbai: Landslide triggered by heavy rain trapped four people under the debris in Mumbai's Saki Naka area on Tuesday.

One person has been pulled out from under the debris. He is injured and has been rushed to the hospital. The landslide occurred early afternoon in the area.

The fire brigade is still trying to pull out others. Six fire engines are on the spot.

Saki Naka has been prone to landslides due to the topography of the area. Ten people were killed in landslide in September last year in the Lal Bahadur Shastri slums in Saki Naka.

In 2005, a massive landslide in the same area killed 78 people, Congress president Sonia Gandhi had visited the affected areas.
