On Sunday, as per reports from the Met Department, the city received the second highest 24-hour rainfall for August since 2012. The IMD has predicted more showers this week. While the weekend downpour ensured waterlogging in several parts of the city, as well in neighbouring Thane and Navi Mumbai, it's the potholes menace that has motorists most worried.

The situation is grim for motorists as well as pedestrians, because there's no way to figure out where potholes are located when the streets are submerged. The issue was particularly worse along the Andheri to Vakola stretch. So far, it has been a rough ride for Ganesh mandals too, as they struggle to carry idols from workshops to different pandals.
