Milan subway, one of the chronic flooding spots in the city, is ready to face heavy rain as the BMC has installed two pumps to drain water out of a holding tank in the vicinity, said civic officials. The underpass at Santacruz had become impassable on multiple occasions following heavy downpours in the city in the first two weeks of last month. Officials said water from the subway will flow into the holding tank by gravitational force.
