The civic body’s works over the past year seem to have given relief to citizens living in and commuting through the areas that are prone to chronic flooding between Dadar and Parel. Among those are Hindmata and King’sCircle, both of which were waterlogged on Tuesday after incessant downpour. But, once the rain stopped, both these spots were cleared of water, thanks to the holding tanks and water pumps. The BMC, however, faltered at one point the Milan subway. It was flooded like always and remained so even after the rain stopped, as the civic body forgot to install water pumps for the holding tank.

As per the BMC’s data, Hindmata received 107.41 mm rainfall from 8 am to 5 pm, Dadar fire station 104.14 mm and Vile Parle fire station 141.79 mm. Santacruz and Colaba observatories recorded 124 mm and 117 mm rain, respectively, in 24 hours, as per the update at 8 am on Tuesday. From 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Santacruz recorded another 153 mm and Colaba 49 mm. However, Tuesday’s waterlogging did not bring the city to a standstill.
