Chunabhatti, one of the most chronic flooding spots in the city, is unlikely to be any better this monsoon. While BMC plans to build a chamber to drain rainwater from this low-lying area and push it to another place using high-capacity pumps, the work worth R17 crore is yet to begin. Chunabhatti is inundated more than once every monsoon, triggering massive traffic snarls on the Eastern Express Highway.

Last year, the area was under four to five water on June 9, June 12 and on July 18. It had taken more than 8 hours for the water to recede on every occasion.
