Maharashtra rain: Over 3,500 persons shifted to safety, says Eknath ShindeMaharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reviewed the rain situation on Tuesday and said over 3,500 persons had been shifted to safer places from flood prone and vulnerable spots across the state.
He was speaking to the media after reviewing the rain situation during a visit to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's disaster control room in the metropolis.
The state has been witnessing heavy rains since Monday, with waterlogging reported from urban areas, including Mumbai, and the level of some rivers rising rapidly.
During his visit to the BMC headquarters a day after winning the floor test in the Assembly, Shinde told reporters he had spoken to the collectors of Raigad, Ratnagiri and some other districts for which the India Meteorological Department had issued 'red' and 'orange' alerts predicting very heavy to extremely heavy rainfall.
Authorities have been directed to shift people from spots that are vulnerable to landslides so as to avoid loss of lives, the CM said.
Mumbai rain: North-west suburbs affected, four subways shut for traffic Four arterial subways in the north-west part of Mumbai had to be closed for traffic on Tuesday due to heavy rains since the early hours of the day, officials said.
These subways, namely Golibar, Milan, Andheri and Malad connect the east and west stretches of the north-western suburbs, which are otherwise divided by Western Railway tracks.
"Motorists have been diverted to alternate routes due to the closure of these four subways at present. Rains have caused traffic snarls in several places, leading to vehicles moving at snail's pace or getting stalled for long periods," a traffic police official said.
