Mumbai has been seeing what weather officials believe could be the heaviest and longest bout of rain since July 26, 2005, when the city was paralysed by flood.
Yesterday, it had been raining incessantly since morning, leading to yet another round of flooding, traffic jams and long hours on the city roads.
Over 10 teams of the National Disaster Response Force or NDRF have been deployed for rescue and relief operations.
Everyone has opened their doors and hearts to help those stranded in the flood. Heavy rain has been forecast for today as well, and schools and colleges have been told to keep shut.
Advisories have been issued by the government, Mumbai Police and by the Disaster Management Authority. According to the regional weather centre, Mumbai will see heavy rain for a second day today.
