Top news story

Heavy downpour battered Mumbai and adjoining areas, flooding large swathes of India’s financial capital on Friday. Two people were killed in the deluge. The city witnessed 283 mm of rainfall in 24 hours, bringing life to a standstill and grinding the railways to a halt. Most of the private offices and government departments, barring the emergency services, were shut as the floods paralysed Mumbai suburban railway. Civic authorities have alerted the NDRF, Navy and Army. The Met department has predicted more heavy rainfall for the next 24 hours. At least three flights were diverted due to the inclement weather; the flights that operated to and from Mumbai were running at least 45 minutes behind schedule. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link was closed to traffic due to heavy rains. Mithi, Mumbai’s very own river which for the rest of the year looks like a drain, on Friday was inching towards the danger mark. The river had touched the 2.5-metre-mark, with the danger mark set at 2.7 metres. The situation got aggravated due to the high tides. “Almost 4 m high tide expected around 2 pm. Appealing everyone to avoid going near the sea. Please avoid going out of homes. Be safe!” tweeted CM Devendra Fadnavis. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/mumbai-rains-floods-two-people-electrocuted-killed-met-department-railways/1/445798.html

Dev Fadnavis washes off his hands in Mumbai floods says he has done enough.
