The Mumbai Traffic Police has listed down over 200 locations that are likely to get flooded this monsoon. The highest number of flood-prone locations are 58 spots in the western suburbs between Bandra and Jogeshwari, 42 locations in the eastern suburbs between Kurla and Mulund and 48 locations in central Mumbai between Mazgaon and Dadar. They also shared the list with the BMC for pre-emptive action but activists pointed out that despite several measures undertaken by the BMC in the past, there has been no drop in the number of waterlogging spots.
According to the Times of India, among the above locations that are likely to witness waterlogging in the western suburbs are Kherwadi and Kalanagar junctions, Amarsons and RK Mission Junction on Linking Road and several locations on SV Road. According to civic officials, encroachment on Chamdawadi nullah in Khar and Bandra (E) is one of the reasons that has affected water flow. According to an official, "Nearly 333 structures obstruct the alignment of the ongoing nullahwidening work. This causes waterlogging in several areas in Bandra (W), including Jay Bharat Railway Colony, National College and SV Road."
