To identify the causes of the waterlogging on the railway tracks, a team from the BMC and Central Railway will visit the affected spots. On Monday, waterlogging was recorded at Bhandup, Kurla, and Chunabhatti, which caused the railway network to halt in the morning. On Thursday, the BMC held a mid-month District Disaster Management Authority meeting at its headquarters. Additional Municipal Commissioner Dr Ashwini Joshi, Dr Amit Saini, other BMC officials, and officials from various authorities were present during the meeting.
While reviewing the meeting, Joshi said that during the heavy rains on Monday, at midnight in the areas of Chunabhatti, Sion, Bhandup, and Kurla, it was observed that rainwater was draining slowly. After that, water was drained more quickly using machinery. “For future planning, measures should be implemented to ensure that water drains more rapidly,” Joshi added.
