The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rains in Maharashtra for the next five days, with an orange alert issued for Mumbai and other areas.
The onset of monsoon in Maharashtra started on June 9, causing heavy rainfalls for the past few days. Many instances of Waterlogging have been reported in several parts of the city including Mahim and Andheri East, which has disrupted life for many.
The city’s municipality has said that the situation will get better from next month as two major works at Hindamata Chowk and Gandhi market are expected to be completed within a fortnight. The weather office has also issued a warning for Palghar, Thane and Raigad saying that due to strengthening of westerly winds along the west coast, in association with low pressure areas, widespread rains with heavy to very heavy falls are likely to continue in Coastal Maharashtra from June 10 – June 15.
