The north side entrance of Magathane metro station has reopened to the public after being closed for three months due to a significant landslide. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) stop-work notice for the developer remains in effect, as construction work on the drain and road is still ongoing. The road will be resurfaced and opened after October, and BMC officials have not disclosed the fine or the cost of repairing the damaged road imposed on the builder.

In the last week of June (on June 26), landslides occurred in a massive excavation site next to Magathane metro station in Borivli East, resulting in cracks on a service road on Western Express Highway and significant damage to the drain line. As a precautionary measure, MMMOCL (Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Ltd) closed the staircase on the northern side of the metro station upon observing these road cracks. Additionally, they closed the lift on the northern side and the concourse area on the first floor, deploying extra staff to assist passengers. Approximately 50 metres of the road remains closed for safety due to its proximity to the heavily trafficked Western Express Highway.
