Mumbai Faces Severe Waterlogging During Monsoon

Mumbai Faces Severe Waterlogging During Monsoon

Mumbai has a big problem with waterlogging during the monsoon season, which lasts from June to September.

The city gets a lot of rain, and the old drainage system can't handle it, especially when it rains very hard.

This causes flooding in many areas, including low-lying places and slum settlements.

The city has tried to fix the problem by building pumping stations and holding ponds, but it's still not enough.

Officials say that climate change is making the problem worse, and they need long-term solutions.

Residents are asking for permanent fixes before the next elections.
