# Mumbai Sakinaka landslide kills 7, two still trapped 2026-08-13T07:38:37+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Search and rescue operations entered a second day on Thursday at the site of a landslide in Mumbai's Sakinaka area, where two persons are still feared trapped under debris. The landslide struck three shanties in Gaushiya Chawl, Ashok Nagar, early Wednesday after heavy rains, killing seven people and injuring seven others. Soil and boulders from a nearby hillock caused the collapse. Rescue teams from the NDRF, fire brigade, and BMC face challenges due to narrow access, which restricts use of heavy machinery. Residents of adjoining shanties have been evacuated, and the BMC says it had issued warnings about landslide risks in vulnerable areas during the monsoon. ## Coverage - rediff.com - thehindu.com Tags: BMC, landslide, Monsoon, Mumbai, NDRF, rescue operations Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/7-dead-2-trapped-in-mumbais-sakinaka-landslide/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
