July 20th 2023.
Mumbai was recently hit with severe water logging in the Sion area. This caused life to be disrupted in Mumbai, Raigad, Thane, Palghar and Badlapur. Flights were delayed and schools and colleges were forced to close in affected areas.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde immediately visited the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s control room to ensure that normalcy would be restored as soon as possible. He ordered for all schools and colleges in these areas to be shut down.
Sadly, the rain also caused a landslide in Irshalwadi village in Khalapur tehsil in Maharashtra's Raigad district. As many as 15-20 houses were buried in the debris. The National Disaster Response Force was on the scene, hoping for survivors.
The events of the past few days have been devastating for the people of Mumbai. The rains have proven how ill-prepared the city is to handle even relatively moderate downpours. We can only hope that the situation will improve soon and that people will be safe.
