The residential side of Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai is once again facing landslides during the monsoon season, as reported by concerned residents and environmental groups. The NatConnect Foundation, in its complaints to the central and state governments, highlighted that soil from the eastern slope, facing City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) headquarters, is sliding down.
B N Kumar, Director of NatConnect, expressed his concern, saying, “The road below is being covered with soil sliding down from the hill. If this continues, it could pose a danger to the people and properties situated on top of the hill.” Jayant Thakur, president of the Parsik Hill resident association, revealed that CIDCO has allocated approximately 200 plots on the hilltop, with around 100 already occupied by residents.
