Mumbai's rain woes continued for another day as the city recieved heavy showers overnight which left some parts of the city water-logged.
As per the meteorological department, Colaba recorded 63.2 mm and Santacruz got 83.3 mm of rainfall since Wednesday. Incidents of water-logging were reported from several parts of the island city and suburbs like Vile Parle, Andheri Subway, Hindmata and others, civic officials said. Trains on both the Western and Central lines were running late by 10 minutes, railway officials said. Flight operations were normal, airport officials said.
"We have done a lot of work to avoid a flood-like situation and also commissioned two pumping stations at Irla (Vile Parle) and Haji Ali. Because of these stations, areas such as JVPD Scheme, Versova, Grant Road and Nana Chowk will get relief from water-logging," a civic official said. "We had done work on a culvert near Milan subway and created a way out for rainwater. This year it will not get flooded," the official claimed.
