  "account": "At least six people have died and four others were injured in a landslide that struck the Kurla region of Mumbai’s eastern suburb on Wednesday. The incident occurred around 3:48 a.m. at Gaushiya Chawl in Chirag Nagar, near Rathod Medical in Kurla West. The landslide was triggered by heavy rain.\n\nBMC Mayor Ritu Tawade visited the scene, extended condolences to the victims' families, and announced a compensation of ₹4 lakh for the families of the deceased and ₹50,000 for each injured person. The landslide resulted in the collapse of soil and debris from a hillside onto two to three houses, trapping several people under the debris.\n\nRescue operations are underway with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and 50 BMC personnel working to free the trapped individuals. Two bodies have been recovered so far, and the injured have been taken to Rajawadi Hospital. The incident occurred in a narrow area, allowing only one person to pass at a time, making rescue efforts challenging.",
