Residents of a slum close to Banganga Tank had a sleepless night yesterday after their homes were water-logged due to high tide and strong winds billowing from the sea. Most of them have taken shelter inside a temple till the weather conditions improved. Amol More, a resident of Rampur Nagar slum, who lives in a one-storey home, said, "We were sleeping, when we noticed water from the sea sweep inside our house. Without wasting any time, I, with the help of my brother, lifted our mother and grandmother to the first floor."
