Citizens are leaving no stone unturned, rather no uncovered drain undocumented, to expose the civic body's lack of preparation for monsoon, after mid-day published a series of photos yesterday of missing and damaged drain and manhole covers across the city. The BMC has stated before the high court that it is rain-ready and that over 1,400 safety nets have been installed in manholes in the island city.

Split wide open
A resident of Charkop, Gopal Jumaani, said he has been complaining about damaged drain covers since long but no action has been taken. "There are broken covers on a couple of drains near Anand Mangal Hall. It's been more than a week... It seems the civic body is waiting for some accident. It's extremely risky for pedestrians."
