A Ganesh idol toppled during sudden rainfall in Nalasopara, causing four to five devotees to become trapped beneath it, although fortunately no serious injuries were reported. The incident occurred on Saturday evening in the Yashwant Gaurav area of Nalasopara West while the idol was being transported from a workshop to its final destination.
As devotees attempted to cover the idol with plastic sheets to shield it from the rain, the trolley carrying the idol became unstable, leading to the idol tilting and falling. A video of the accident quickly spread on social media, capturing the moment when some devotees were pinned under the fallen idol. Local residents swiftly responded to the emergency, helping to secure and lift the idol before transporting it to the mandal's location.
While the idol remained intact, a few people sustained minor injuries during the rescue efforts. Rainfall provided much-needed relief to the city of Mumbai, which had been experiencing a prolonged period of dry weather. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a Yellow Alert for Mumbai and the metropolitan region, predicting light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds in the area, with wind speeds potentially reaching 40–50 kmph.
