#Mumbai Rains: #BMC Commissioner says Army, Navy, NDRF on standby to tackle situation

While Mumbai is often known as the city that does not stop for anyone or anything but the very first spell of rains have disrupted the city’s transport, telecom and Internet services leaving many either stranded or cooped up at home.

Heavy rains for the past week came as a relief for sun-dried Mumbai but is turning out to be a nightmare for those who are on the move as relentless down pours bring the other-wise fast city to a standstill.

Mumbai electricity board has taken into account public safety and shut down power supply to several parts of the city where water logging poses danger to human life. Parts of Mumbai could face more wate logging as high tide sets in at 2 pm today leaving little scope for flood water to drain into the sea.
