With rains in Mumbai today disrupting normal life by causing waterlogging and slowing down traffic, the people of the city took to Twitter to hit out at the municipal authorities for being ill-prepared as always.
Here are some of the tweets:
#Aamchimumbai #MumbaiRains #MumbaiPlasticBan #Mumbai Citizens will be punished with Rs. 5000 if seen carrying plastic bag.
Good decision
But what is the punishment for municipal corporation and corporators if you see potholes in the roads… ???????? pic.twitter.com/uJCZL9sAQi— neetu vaishanav (@NVaishanav) June 23, 2018
The only time in my life when I open twitter early in the morning are the days when Mumbai decides to pour incessantly #MumbaiRains

My good wishes to the people of Mumbai. The BJP govt under the joint leadership of Dev Fadnavis & Nitin Gadkari have truly mastered the art of inland waterways in the city. #MumbaiRains

The Congress also tweeted and asked BMC workers to be on the streets to help people.
With rains pouring down and reports of flooding coming in many areas, BMC officials need to come out of their slumber and ensure Mumbaikar’s don’t suffer due to their callousness #MumbaiRains pic.twitter.com/SxG0ulZhKh
