Mumbai rain: School children get stranded in a flood-like situation, Zomato agent delivers food amid waterlogging
Another day of torrential rain brought Mumbai to a halt as many parts of the city dealt with severe waterlogging. According to data shared by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the suburban Santacruz station received over 99 mm of rainfall, while the Colaba coastal observatory recorded 38 mm of rainfall between Sunday and Monday morning. As the Met Department issued an Orange alert for Mumbai till August 19, videos of the city coping with the heavy rain flooded the Internet. One of the videos shows rescuers helping school children out of their bus, which got stranded amid the flood-like situation near Kings Circle, Gandhi Market. The viral clip shows Mumbai policemen navigating through knee-deep water while carrying the kids to safety.
