Heavy rains in Mumbai’s Dadar area led to waterlogging, causing numerous problems to commuters.

A college student struck at the footpath, Ashish, told ANI, “The problem of waterlogging happens every year. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation was said to have done some arrangements but nothing is visible of that sort. The government does not take any action against it.”
