:|: MHO :|: Mumbai is waterlogged again

 

Media reports said that the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has begun evacuating families at Kranti Nagar. About 400 families are being shifted to a nearby municipal school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normal life has been thrown out of gear in the city owing to heavy overnight rains that led to severe water logging in many parts and badly disrupted road, rail and air traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Railway tracks were flooded between suburban Bandra and Vile Parle on the Western line and between Vidya Vihar and Sion on the Central line. Khar, Milan and Andheri subways were also waterlogged.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Visibility at Mumbai International Airport was described as poor on Tuesday morning. Water logging was also reported at the Wadala truck terminus, Maratha Mandir, Govandi and Deonar colonies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Several areas of Mumbai, including Mulund (242.81 mm), Bandra (207.8 mm), and Memonwada (203.1 mm),Byculla (197. 3 mm), and Chembur (192.7 mm), were among the areas that received heavy rainfall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Media reports quoted civic officials as saying that a high tide of 3.85 m was expected around 4.15 pm and that if the heavy rains continued the situation could worsen. The weather department has given a forecast of heavy rains throughout the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Meteorological Department says Mumbai could experience more heavy showers in the days to come.

The city may also witness gusty winds and thunderstorms in the next 48 hours, Met officials said.

 

 

 

 

For past many years, monsoon rains have been playing havoc in the Mumbai. According to the city's municipal officers, about a billion rupees are spent each year on bracing the city for the monsoon downpours. Yet rains continue to disrupt normal life.
