Mumbai is reeling under heavy rains that are continuing to lash out incessantly and the situation is so bad that Mumbaikars are already comparing it to the June 2005 flooding that caused heavy damages to properties and lives.

The local administration has advised the people to stay indoors and venture out only if it is absolutely necessary and the disaster management teams are on high alert. PM Narendra Modi has stated “Centre assures all possible support to the Government of Maharashtra in mitigating the situation due to heavy rains in parts of the state.”. Dhanush and Hansika are among the Kollywood celebrities who have reached out to people via social media to extend their solidarity towards the Mumbaikars.

Stay safe mumbai 🙏🙏
