Mumbai Flooding Causes Milk Spill and Animal Shelter Tragedy
Heavy rains caused flooding in Vasai, near Mumbai.
The floods were so bad that milk from a shop spilled into the streets, making them look white.
Sadly, at an animal shelter called JJ Foster Home and Wagging Hearts Foundation, the flood killed two dogs and three cats.
Jeet Bhatti, who runs the shelter, said the water rose very high.
People shared videos of both events online.
Jeet says the floods were made worse by building construction, the loss of mangrove trees, heavy rainfall, and high tides.
