Advocate Dr Jayashree Patil decided to put her raft to good use by rescuing Mumbaikars caught in the rain at Parel. "It was my daughter Zen's idea to buy a raft. We live opposite the lane where Dr Deepak Amarapurkar fell into the manhole last year. Since the BMC is not doing much about it, we decided to act," she says. The family has purchased two rafts for Rs 5,000 each and ordered another costing Rs 20,000. Pic/Ashish Raje
