Mumbai rains subside for now; garbage-strewn roads pose fresh problem

As copious rains lashed Mumbai on Tuesday, the immediate worry was to curtail water logging and help citizens stranded across various parts of the city. As the water slowly receded by Wednesday, a fresh problem was staring in the face. Garbage and a deluge of polythene bags had come floating from society landfills, open garbage bins and litter strewn across roadsides. Besides, the strong winds uprooted several trees which need to be cleared up. As a result the roads, though waterless, are in a slushy mess right now. And the municpal body is attempting to clean up the city before the rain resumes.

Phyan cyclone started as a deep depression over the Bay of Bengal on Monday and moved northwards towards Konkan coast and intensified into a cyclonic storm on Tuesday. The wind speed of Cyclone Phyan is said to be 70 to 80 km per hour. 

As a consequence of the cyclone, heavy rainfall (>25 cm) might hit Konkan & Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and south Gujarat region during next 36 hours.

Garbage strewn over city roads makes for tomorrow's nightmare

The BMC remained exceptionally hopeful that the Maximum city will resume its pace as soon as the rains let up. The BMC officials, in their press briefing, appeared buoyant that the over 300 pumping systems across Mumbai can tackle water logging once the weather improves. 

However, one look at the city streets tells a different tale. As garbage and debris is strewn all over inundated roads, you realise that the entire lot is heading towards the city's already strained water drainage system. Litter overflowing from mini-dumps, landfills, and open garbage bins across the city will chockerblock the drainageways making it a tough task for the BMC to clean up the mess even if the weather improves over the next 24 hours. 

Traffic between Mumbai suburbs and South Bombay at a standstill
