Mumbai Anticipates High Tides, Warns of Potential Disruptions
Mumbai is expecting very high tides, over 4.5 meters tall, for the next four days, especially around lunchtime.
This could cause some problems.
Trains might have to stop briefly if the water gets too high near the tracks, particularly in areas like Kurla, Sion, and Dadar.
Roads will likely have more traffic during busy times on highways and major routes.
The city is also prepared with pumps and emergency teams to handle any flooding and is watching the bus service to make sure they run smoothly.
Mumbai is expected to experience high tides exceeding 4.5 meters for the next four days during noon hours.
Brief halts on Western and Central rail lines are possible due to rising water levels near tracks in low-lying areas like Kurla, Sion, and Dadar.
Road traffic is anticipated to slow down during peak hours on routes such as the Eastern Express Highway, LBS Marg, and JVLR.
BEST bus services are being monitored for potential diversions in case of worsening waterlogging.
Authorities have deployed dewatering pumps and emergency crews at flood-prone junctions.
