More than 3,000 trees or big branches fell across the city in two days due to the strong winds brought along by cyclone Tauktae, damaging several houses and blocking roads.

The fallen trees or branches at several houses/residential buildings and roads have not been cleared yet, as the administration is unable to attend to a large number of complaints. Besides, the BMC helpline number received 9,817 calls during the day on Tuesday, including complaints of 56 waterlogging spots, 43 house collapse and 39 short circuit incidents.
