Mumbai Soaked Again: Heavy Rains Flood Streets and Even KEM Hospital Corridors
Mumbai, Maharashtra – Mumbai’s monsoon fury intensified today as nonstop rains since early morning submerged major parts of the city, including the KEM Hospital, one of the city’s key government medical centers.
Disturbing visuals show rainwater flowing through hospital corridors, creating hazardous conditions for both patients and staff. The flooding has raised serious concerns over public health, hospital sanitation, and emergency care access.
Across Mumbai, roads are waterlogged, train services delayed, and traffic snarled, particularly in low-lying areas like Dadar, Sion, and Kurla. Municipal workers are struggling to drain excess water amid continued downpour.
Citizens are being urged to:
Avoid venturing out unless necessary
Stay away from flood-prone areas
Monitor official weather and civic advisories
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has activated emergency response teams, but the scale of flooding highlights the recurring monsoon infrastructure woes the city faces every year.
Call to Action:
Stay safe, Mumbai! If you're near a hospital or waterlogged area, alert authorities and help spread awareness. Let’s hold institutions accountable for safe, hygienic infrastructure — especially where lives are on the line.
