Traffic on the Mumbai–Pune expressway is disrupted after a landslide deposits debris on a connecting link, according to reports. The disruption occurs during a spell of heavy to very heavy rainfall across the Mumbai–Pune region and surrounding parts of Maharashtra. The same monsoon conditions also affect rail connectivity between the two cities. One update from the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) says it appeals to travellers to postpone journeys amid the disruption. Subsequent reporting states that response teams clear the landslide debris and traffic is restored on the affected connecting link. The articles describe the incident as part of broader monsoon impacts in the region, where both road and rail movement are intermittently disrupted due to intense rainfall in recent days. The updates indicate that authorities manage restoration efforts after the debris is removed and traffic resumes on the disrupted stretch, though the overall period of instability is linked to ongoing monsoon weather.
