PONDA: A landslide occurred at Curti-Ponda while road-widening work was in progress, prompting Ponda police to cordon off the area and deploy a police team at the site to safeguard motorists and pedestrians.
Locals claimed the contractor had been widening the road without heeding their warnings of a possible landslide in the area.
A portion of the hill collapsed in the afternoon following morning rains. Locals fear similar landslides in the coming days.
