Mumbai Civic Body Worker Falls Into Manhole In Front Of Mayor

When Mumbai Mayor stepped out in the rain Wednesday morning to inspect the on-ground situation, little did she expect to see a man fall into a manhole. What followed was a furious mayor reprimanding the official and giving him a stern dressing down. She declared that if any manhole is found open, the official in charge of that ward would face suspension. The southwest monsoon reached Mumbai on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after its usual onset date, bringing widespread rainfall across the city. Torrential overnight rain has led to waterlogging, traffic disruptions and even damage, including a wall collapse.
