Even as early morning warnings (Tuesday, August 29) warned of a ‘typhoon like situation’, Mumbaikars trudged to work keeping the proverbial work ethic of India’s most buzzing metropolis alive. Heavy monsoon rains however brought India’s financial capital to a halt, with authorities struggling to evacuate people with the scheduled high tide adding to the chaos. The Bombay Municipal Corporation, the richest body in the country, haunted by corruption and red tape apepars to have learnt no lessons from the floods of 2005 when close to 500 persons lost their lives.
Incessant rain flooded several parts of Mumbai on Tuesday and paralysed train services used by millions of commuters daily, with many stranded at stations and hundreds of others walking home through waist-deep water on railway tracks.Poor visibility and flooding also forced airport authorities to divert some flights while most were delayed by up to an hour.
But what provided huge succour was how all faiths, temples, mosques, dargahs and gurudwaras came to people’s rescue. These notifications and warnings give just a glimpse of the compassion still alive and kicking in Mumbai.
