Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde said the smooth functioning of civic systems and the quick drainage of water from low-lying areas reflected the effectiveness of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) pre-monsoon preparedness

She also instructed officials to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of pumping systems, regular cleaning of stormwater drains, and strict monitoring to avoid open manholes during the monsoon

Tawde added that between 225 mm and 250 mm of rainfall was recorded across the city in 24 hours, with civic machinery operating round the clock to manage flooding-prone pockets

BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide reviewed the situation at the Emergency Control Room at 4.30 am, assessing rainfall impact and departmental preparedness

She urged citizens to follow India Meteorological Department (IMD) advisories and contact the BMC control room in case of emergencies.
