Mumbai Rain: 300 millimeters of rain in 6 hours on Monday disproved BMC's claims

Monsoon woes seem inevitable for Mumbai as heavy rains continue to expose the shortcomings of the city's infrastructure. Despite numerous promises from the government and BMC to transform Mumbai into a world-class, pothole-free, and waterlogging-free city, the reality tells a different story. On Monday, 300 mm of rain in just six hours overwhelmed the city, invalidating BMC's claims of preparedness. As the water levels receded, large potholes emerged on the roads, highlighting the persistent issues. Residents are left frustrated, questioning the effectiveness of the measures and the accountability of the authorities in ensuring a resilient urban environment against the annual monsoon deluge.
