He emphasized that the recent traffic disruption was due to a landslide, not a structural failure. Fadnavis dismissed accusations of corruption, attributing them to those uncomfortable with the lack of malpractice under his administration.
The Chief Minister highlighted that the landslide was triggered by heavy rainfall, causing significant debris to block the highway. He pointed out that the area received an unusually high amount of rain, leading to the unprecedented incident.

He explained that the landslide near a tunnel on the project site halted traffic temporarily. While efforts are underway to clear the road, the incident has become a focal point of political debate. The Chief Minister underscored the impact of heavy rainfall on the region, emphasizing the need for swift action to address the aftermath.
