Following the first rainfall of the season, a landslide occurred in Haji Malang or Shri Malanggad in Ambernath which resulted in the death of a man. The incident, which happened on Monday morning, injured two and they are currently receiving treatment at Central Hospital in Ulhasnagar. The deceased, sources said, was attempting to save his son`s life.
The area around Haji Malang or Malanggad shrine is infamous for unauthorised constructions. Being an open space, the area poses significant risks; despite the dangers, many families continue to reside there. The crackdown by the forest department over the issue had not been sustained.
