The civic body has been busy preparing for the monsoon, which is around the corner. It has completed the work of desilting culverts under the rail tracks. The railways had sought the BMC’s help during the last meeting and the work was completed in 15 days.

There are close to 116 culverts in the city — 41 on Western Railway, 53 on Central Railway and 22 on Harbour line. Most of these are open nullahs which are easy to clean, but the challenge is removing silt and sediments from the closed ones, said civic officials.
