What can the BMC do ???
Lets stop blaming BMC.Water gets logged because of :- 1. We are living virtually at sea level so at the time of high tide there is no place water can go. 2. Garbage blocks the drain points on the roads. This is only in case of first few rains,after that the garbage is flushed out due to pressure.if u observe even last year this had happened.july 26 was one off day and we should stop cribbing. enjoy the downpour. Good rains will result in good yield and inflation would come down.

Thanks for your comment. But I believe this high tide event takes place everyday and not only when it rains heavily. BMC could have flushed the drains with high pressure and not waited till the rains fill up all the drains. What is your opinion?

1. i dint say that high tide is causing road blockages.at the time of high time,water from the drains doesnt flow into the sea.
2. as far as flushing the drains is concerned, drains get jammed ue to garbage & plastic which is on the roads etc flowing in the drain due to water.
in this regard,drain pipes with more width have already been installed all along LBS marg.
