The mayor conducted inspections at several locations, including Vashinaka in Chembur and the Somaiya Nala in Ghatkopar (East), to review the progress of desilting and flood-prevention works

According to the mayor, special focus is being placed on Zone 5, covering the eastern and north-eastern suburbs, which includes several flood-prone areas

During her visit to the Vashinaka nala in Chembur's Ayodhya Nagar area, Tawde said around 43 per cent of the cleaning work at that location had been completed

She expressed confidence that the remaining work would be finished within the next eight to ten days, ensuring the drainage system is fully prepared before the onset of monsoon rains

Tawde said the municipal administration is closely monitoring the quality and pace of work to ensure effective flood management across the city
