The BG Kher Road in Malabar Hill, which was damaged and shut for traffic following a landslide in the monsoon of 2020, will remain under repair for yet another season. Currently the work of laying water pipelines is on and it is unlikely to be complete before the rains, which means the work to construct the road can start only after monsoon.
The retaining wall adjacent to BG Kher Road collapsed in a landslide in the night of August 5, 2020 after incessant rains. The road developed huge cracks and has been closed since then. Three water pipelines which supplied water to Malabar Hill were also ruptured in the incident. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had laid one temporary pipeline to restore the supply of water to the area, which is still in use. The road, formerly known as Ridge Road, is an important one as it links Malabar Hill and Walkeshwar to the rest of Mumbai.
