This week, Mumbai and the surrounding areas continued to wind under heavy monsoon showers, which triggered extensive waterlogging, disturbing traffic services and now promoted one of the key reservoirs of the city, Powai Lake, around its full capacity.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) confirmed early Wednesday that Lake Powai, an important artificial water system under his jurisdiction, began to overflow around 6:00 due to intensive collisions in his basin in the last two days.
In the X (formerly Twitter) post, the civic body noted that the water water levels reached 195.10 feet. The lake has a storage capacity of 545 liters of Crore and is primarily used for unconstant and industrial purposes, especially in the Aarey Milk Colony colony.
The ongoing weather conditions disrupted mobility throughout the city. The suburban railway lines, the Rescue Rope in Mumbai’s Daily Compete, reported on Monday a delay of up to 30 minutes in the central and western corridors. The commuting tried to navigate the flooded streets as they hit the water by several low -laid areas.
Even air transport was not spared. Indigo Airlines released advice on Monday and warned passengers from delay due to poor road conditions and reduced visibility around the airport. “Mumbai continues heavy rainfall, and road conditions remain slow in several parts of the city,” the airline said, urging the travelers to check the flight updates in real time and allow further travel time.
Since the monsoon gains strength, the civic authorities remain in high readiness, as Mumbai continues to fight against its annual stress test infrastructure caused by torrential rains.
Meanwhile, on Monday in the commercial Vashi Plaza complex in Navi Bombi, it collapsed after a press agency even disintegrated with severe precipitation over Maharaštra.
The news agency shared a video showing how four wheels and two -wheel vehicles were stuck due to the sudden deformation of the road. This incident caused significant visible damage to public and private property because firefighters tried to clean the damage.
