A salute again to the Mumbaikar spirit

Thanks for coming up so fast with a help line and rising to the occasion.
Most of the people have were at home and at some places things are as normal as can be.

Monsoon rain is one of the main factors that are having a great impact in Mumbai. It's always said that too much anything is poison. In the same way you can ask any Mumbaikar about 26/7 !! (y only 9/11 or 7/13). At least average two people in a family would have suffered by this rain (if u r strong in maths just calculate how many would that come to!!). According to meteorological department officials, Mumbai has received around 395 mm of rain since Saturday morning. The MeT department has predicted heavy rains for the next couple of days.

Police saved life people

Power got failure again in suburbs

Reliance Energy and BEST, providers of power in the city and suburbs, cut supply in various places particularly low-lying ones, as a precaution.
Reliance Energy cut off the power supply in various suburb places of Mumbai such as Kurar village, Bnagur Nagar, Goregaon, Samata Nagar, Charkop, Borivali (E), Veera Desai Road, Andheri, Four Bunglows and Chembur on Saturday evening.


Transport system collapses as usual
The showers crippled transport systems. It forced road diversions, disrupted rail services and there was chaos at the Mumbai airport, with no flights landing or taking off till late noon.

The airport has now reopened, but with a huge backlog of flights. Many passengers are still stranded.

Flooding was reported in 17 areas like Matunga, Sion, Bandra, Andheri, Chembur and Lower Parel, but traffic was sparse as it was a weekend. The Central Railways was suspended due to waterlogging.

Despite this all difficulties mumbaikar will continue to work in heavy rains will go to office as normal and will do help to others in such disasters. But when our goverment will wake up?

I have been out of Mumbai and I miss Mumbai so much. The trains, crowd, the vada pav, kanda bhaji and the true spirits of AMCHI MUMBAI.

A proud resident from Mumbai.
