The Taliye landslide site
NAVI MUMBAI: A string of landslides triggered by the rain fury in Konkan over the past two days has claimed scores of lives. The worst was at Taliye village in Raigad’s Mahad taluka, which has so far claimed as many as 49 lives. Another 12 are injured and 47 are missing.
The landslide took place at around 5pm on Thursday, but till late at night rescuers hadn’t been able to reach the spot, as reported by TOI in its July 23 edition. An NDRF team airlifted from Mumbai had to return as the Raigad administration did not provide a landing facility.
