When it rains in Mumbai, it pours
July 01, 2008
In the suburbs, flooding was reported in Goregaon, Malad, Milan subway and Mulund, authorities said. Pumps had been deployed in many areas to drain water out of low-lying areas, however, there had been no requirement for the deployment of its emergency services so far, they said.
The city's drainage system is presently capable of handling about 40 mm of rainfall per hour, but heavy rains since Monday has put the city's storm water drainage system under strain, authorities said.
