Landslide disaster occured in the Chembur area. Mumbai traffic police issued an alert asking people to avoid unnecessary travel. The municipal corporation had to press 110 water pumps into service to drain out excess water from the streets.
People living on the banks of rivers Surya, Vaitarna and Daherja in Palghar taluka are alert to move to safer place as more heavy rainfall is forecast to hit Mumbai today.
Maharastra flood in 2005 was worst where over 900 mm of rainfall in a single day, the highest ever rainfall on a single day in over a century. At least 5,000 were killed at that time all because people were not alert about the severe disaster as radio stations and many television stations did not receive any weather warnings or alerts by the civic agencies.
