Heavy showers on the fifth day of monsoon washed away the civic body's tall claims of no flooding this year. Most parts of the city was waterlogged on Monday and the BMC used more than 100 pumps to flush out water from over 18 locations.

A total of 41 locations across the city were waterlogged since 8 am on Sunday to 6 pm on Monday, according to the complaints received by the BMC. Clogged nullahs due to heavy rainfall over the past five days are said to have caused waterlogging, particularly in areas that get flooded every year. An FIR was filed against a developer who allegedly dumped debris from his construction site to a nullah in Kanjurmarg.
