The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation claims to have tackled 282 flooding spots but motorists are unlikely to get much relief this monsoon as the civic body is yet to upgrade major traffic junctions that get inundated during heavy rain. A majority of such spots—44—are in the western suburbs, shows BMC data.

BMC has identified 386 flooding spots across the city, of which it has carried out flood-control work at 282 places. “Work on 30 spots will be complete before monsoon. Till next year's monsoon, 33 more places will be tackled,” said Additional Municipal Commissioner P Velrasu.
