Mumbai grapples with heavy rain, red alert issued; SDRF, NDRF deployed, Govt offices closed
Amid heavy rainfall in several parts, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said that Mumbai has received around 300mm of rain, leading to some disruptions, but the water level in Mithi is slowly going down. The city has received around 300mm of rains from 8am on August 18 to 8am on August 19. CM Fadnavis has also said that SDRF and NDRF teams have been deployed at certain locations. On other hand, Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde went to Emergency Management Department of Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to assess the situation. He says, “”I took a tour of Mumbai, visited the Mithi River and areas affected by landslides in Vikhroli Park Site and also went to Thane. BMC machinery is on high alert, with Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and other officials actively monitoring the situation in the field… Efforts are being made to provide immediate relief, with 525 pumps operational, 10 mini pumping stations, and 6 large pumping stations in use. Holding ponds have been created, and NDRF teams are working to shift people from flood-prone areas to safer locations, providing them with food, shelter, and medical camps… Geo-netting is being implemented in landslide-prone areas to prevent further incidents. The BMC is also providing food packets and other essentials to those affected, and public transport services are being managed to reduce traffic… It is an appeal to people to stay indoors unless necessary and for private companies to allow work from home to manage the high-intensity rainfall, which has caused significant flooding but is being mitigated by ongoing drainage efforts… Additionally, they instruct the Municipal Commissioner to assess and provide aid to areas affected by the flooding, including assistance for Ganesh idol immersions…”
