While more than 7000 BMC personnel battle waterlogging, fallen trees, and rain-related emergencies on Mumbai's streets, a 30-member team inside the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's Disaster Management (DM) Control Room is working round the clock to coordinate the city's response. Over five days of heavy rain, the control room handled more than 6000 calls, monitored 10,500 CCTV cameras, coordinated with 60 agencies and even helped debunk viral misinformation on social media.
