After nearly four months of scorching heat and humidity, the season of rains, breezes and cloudy skies has started in several Indian regions – including Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Delhi.
As the Monsoon season began in India, heavy rains have hit the country’s financial capital Mumbai.
The downpour has exacerbated troubles for citizens who commute from one part of the big city to another on a daily basis. With the first shower of the monsoon rains, several usually traffic-clogged streets of Mumbai have flooded, making ordinary travel difficult.
While the monsoon is being welcomed by Mumbaikars with open arms, they are also questioning the city authorities regarding the failure of Mumbai’s sewage system and management that causes the city roads to flood during rains, every year.
