MUMBAI TOLD TO STAY HOME
TOMORROW
The
weather office has sounded a "red alert" for heavy rain tomorrow in
Mumbai, which reported 200 mm of rain today, about nine times more than
average. Schools and colleges will be closed on Wednesday. Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis tweeted to say that people in and around Mumbai are
"advised to stay back home unless there is an emergency", but
"essential services and critical staff in Government will be on duty
tomorrow". Operations at the Mumbai airport, suspended for a while on Tuesday
evening because of low visibility, have resumed. But flights are delayed, as
are trains. There is waist-high water at many places and big traffic jams all
over the city. "Stay Safe," Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged
Mumbai in a tweet.
