Rats burrowing into a 107-year-old rail tunnel in Mumbai have weakened the hill through which it passes, causing concern for authorities. Two incidents of cave-ins have been reported, and boulders have been rolling down the hill, indicating loosening soil. The rats have been drawn to garbage dumped on the hill, and their burrows have further weakened the hill. Measures are being taken to stop the dumping of garbage and to clear unauthorised slums in the area. Retaining walls have been built to protect the rail lines from collapsing.
A woman and her lover were arrested for allegedly killing her husband and dumping his body in a quarry in Vasai East to make it look like an accidental death.
