The Disaster Management Unit of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has warned Mumbaikars of more rainfall in the next 24 hours, and advised them against leaving their homes "unless required."
The Devendra Fadnavis administration ordered all its offices to allow employees to leave early. The chief minister visted the State Disaster Management Control room to take stock of the situation.
In the coming hours, Mumbai could receive showers similar to those that brought the city to its knees in 2005, the weatherman says. That year, the city was battered by the heaviest rainfall recorded in Indian history. 108 people were killed in two days: 25 drowned after being trapped in their cars, and another 190 were feared buried in landslides.
