# Ghatkopar Landslide: 2 Dead, Several Feared Trapped 2026-08-12T07:22:09+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets A landslide struck Gaushiya Chawl in Ghatkopar's Chirag Nagar around 3.48 am on Wednesday, killing at least two people and injuring two others, civic officials said. The deceased were identified as Sahil Ansari (28) and Mohamad Samir (14). The injured, Sohel Ansari (18) and Mohamad Ansari (14), are in stable condition at Kurla Bhabha Hospital. Rescue teams from the fire brigade, NDRF, and BMC are at the site, using specialised equipment in a narrow area that limits heavy machinery. Reports on the number still trapped vary: Times of India says six to eight people are feared trapped, Times Now says three to four. The Free Press Journal claims six have died, though other sources put the toll at two. Mumbai mayor Ritu Tawde announced Rs 4 lakh compensation for each deceased family and Rs 50,000 for the injured. The BMC said it had earlier warned residents to vacate the vulnerable hillside. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - hindustantimes.com - freepressjournal.in Tags: BMC, Ghatkopar, monsoon rains, Mumbai landslide, NDRF rescue Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mumbai-landslide-kills-two-in-ghatkopar-several-feared-trapped/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
