The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and other agencies on Sunday resumed their search and rescue efforts for the fourth consecutive day at Irshalwadi village in Maharashtra's Raigad district.

As reported by PTI, the massive landslide in the area resulted in the tragic loss of at least 27 lives. As of the morning's update, the NDRF official reported that no bodies have been recovered yet during the ongoing search and rescue operation.

The search operation for the victims of the landslide in Raigad district, Maharashtra, has entered its fourth day. The death toll has risen to 27, while 81 people are still missing.

The landslide occurred on Wednesday night at Irshalwadi village in Raigad district. The village is located on a hill slope and is prone to landslides. The landslide was caused by heavy rains that have been lashing the state for the past few days.

The search operation is being carried out by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), and the local police. The operation is being hampered by bad weather and the difficult terrain.

The families of the missing people are anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones. They are hoping that the search operation will be successful and that their loved ones will be found alive.

The government has announced a compensation of Rs. 5 lakh for the families of the deceased and Rs. 2 lakh for the families of those who are injured. The government has also announced that it will provide financial assistance to those who have lost their homes in the landslide.

The landslide is a reminder of the dangers of living in landslide-prone areas. It is important to be aware of the risks and to take precautions to stay safe.

As of Saturday, the death toll from the landslide has reached 27, and there are still 81 individuals who remain unaccounted for, as stated by officials. The devastating landslide struck the tribal village situated on a hill slope in Khalapur tehsil, approximately 80 km away from Mumbai, occurring on Wednesday night.

At least 17 of 48 houses in the village were fully or partially buried under the landslide debris, officials said. The search and rescue operation was called off on Saturday night due to bad light and inclement weather and resumed on Sunday morning.

The rescue operation is being carried out manually as earth movers and excavators could not be easily moved to the village in the absence of a pucca road. Of the 27 bodies recovered so far, 12 are women, 10 men and four children, while one person is unidentified, officials said.

Nine members of a family had perished in the disaster, they said.

On Saturday, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray met residents of Irshalwadi. He said people living in landslide-prone areas in Maharashtra should be moved to safer locations. “Not just Irsahlwadi. All such localities should be rehabilitated in nearby villages or areas," he said. The former chief minister said he had planned a scheme to rehabilitate villages residing in landslide-prone areas to safer places.
