Heavy rains lashed the financial capital

Mumbai (PTI): Heavy rains lashed the financial capital on Thursday, leading to water logging in several parts of the city and its suburbs. However, the transport system remained largely unaffected by the downpour. According to the Meteorological department, the city received 40 mm of rainfall till 0830 hours on Thursday. The weather bureau has predicted spells of rains with possibility of heavy downpour in the next 24 hours. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is gearing up to drain out excessive rain water accumulating in the city and its suburbs if heavy rains coincide with the 5.01 metre high-tide in the afternoon.
