Heavy rainfall in the financial capital of India Mumbai thwarted the lives of millions, immersing roads and leading to the cancellation of flights and trains.
Many parts of the city remain flooded in a waist with deep water, and videos showing residents floating on water roads when the garbage is broken out of the slain sewer.
Authorities rescued nearly 600 people on Tuesday, who were stuck on the overflowing system of the monrax, which stopped in the middle of the tournament. The civilian authorities had to treat at least 23 of them.
Most schools and colleges remain closed. About 350 people were evacuated from the lowland regions of the city and were transferred to temporary shelters.
The Indian weather Department issued a red warning for the city and neighboring areas, predicting very heavy rains on Wednesday, but stated that the situation would improve later in a week.
Mussane rains are common in Maharashtra – where Mumbai is around this time of the year.
But this time the region feels particularly heavy rains. In just four days Mumbai saw 800 mm of rainfall, reports The Meteorological Division of IndiaWhat is much higher than the average rain that the city receives in August.
At least 21 people have died in the last four days in the rain -related accident.
Local Mumbai trains – a lifeline for millions of passengers – have seen large interruptions with thousands waiting on platforms on Tuesday when services were tightened for hours.
“The trains planned last night left this morning, and those who should leave this morning were postponed later,” said the Ani news agency.
Flight operations to the International City Airport and the city have also taken a blow, and over the past few days, 50 flights have been canceled.
“While we want your journey to be as without any problems as possible, the mother nature has her plans. With heavy rains that are expected again in Mumbai, it is likely that it can lead to air traffic congestion and exposure to flights,”- Budget carrier Indigo said on X.
Meanwhile, the chaos flared up on Tuesday after the monoraic system, which was reportedly full of its capacity, stopped the middle.
The passenger who was on the train told BBC Marathi that with the expelled air conditioner, the passengers tried to open the door to call for help.
Firefighters and police teams had to use cranes to reduce passengers with raised traces.
The preliminary investigation suggested that the incident happened because of the “overpopulation on the train”, the reports said.
Opposition legislators have accused the government of poorly prepared to resolve the situation.
Aaditya thacayra from the Syna Seno Party (UBT) said several areas, including Mumbai, witnessed a “absolute control collapse”.
He claimed that the government was doing “zero planning”, despite the issuance of red announcements, noting that on Tuesday the city airport was flooded and new water places appeared – especially around the recently built infrastructure.
Several citizens also went into social media, criticizing the collapse of the city and poor planning.
More than 12 million people live in Mumbai, who every year sees the influx of migrants from all over the country who come in search of the best opportunities.
While the city has an infrastructure update in the city in recent years – including coastal roads, sea bridges and a new subway system – experts say, investment to improve drainage systems and infrastructure, climate, not in the leg with increasing population.
