Heavy rains disrupted Mumbai local train services and waterlogging in many areas paralyzed the road traffic as well. Although local authorities including Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and railways are putting out regular updates about situation in the city, many who have managed to reach their offices in the city are worried about their journey home.

It is often seen in Mumbai that if train services are disrupted in morning, the situation worsens tenfold in the afternoon and evening if the rain continues and in case of a high tide. Those managing to reach offices in the morning are often stuck there in the evening, unable to travel home.

What is the situation right now?

India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) Mumbai office told Free Press Journal that heavy rainfall is predicted during the day. The department said that waterlogging is possible in city and suburbs and that citizens should take due precautions while venturing out.

The Santacruz station of the IMD has recorded 267 mm of rainfall in last 24 hours while the one in Colaba has recorded 81 mm rainfall.

Train services were disrupted in the morning. At the time of publishing of this story fast train service between Thane and CSMT was suspended but slow trains were being run. However, the service remained disrupted and trains were taking much longer than usual to reach destination.

On Western Railway, trains were running with a delay of 10 minutes.

Harbour line was affected as well.

High tide warning

The BMC has said that high tide of 4.40 metres will begin at 1.57 pm. During high tide, the rate of water clearance through the city’s drainage system reduces. This means that waterlogged areas may take time to be cleared.

If the rains continue as they were in the morning, there is a possibility that rainfall, combined with the effect of the high tide may impact public transport in afternoon and in the evening.

Mumbai: In an important meeting of scholars of all ideologies on the loudspeaker controversy in Govind Shivaji Nagar, Mumbai, it was decided that the documents of mosques, schools and madrasas should be certified and along with this, police permission for loudspeakers should also be obtained without any restriction because communal elements, especially Crate Soumya, are trying to spoil the atmosphere of Mumbai city, so he is constantly targeting mosques, schools and madrasas.

Addressing this meeting, Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that Crate Soumya is suffering from mosques and Azan. He is promoting communalism to create hatred between Hindus and Muslims, so Muslims need to be careful with him. He said that the way the law was flouted near Maloni Mosque on Ram Navami, DJ was played. He said that today the Constitution is being flouted, so Muslims need to be patient and be ready to work strategically. He said that a meeting should be held with the BMC and Police Commissioner on this issue and they should be made aware of the situation. Along with this, a ban has also been demanded on these miscreants. He further said that the illegal visit of miscreants, especially Krit Soumya, should be stopped.

Former minister and Congress leader Arif Naseem Khan said that we need to correct the documents of mosques, schools and madrasas and respond to them legally. Arif Naseem Khan said that along with the legal documents of madrasas, it is also mandatory to obtain loudspeaker permits. He said that we need to work cautiously and not in passion because communal elements are constantly trying to bring Muslims on the streets and mislead them, but we have to respond to them legally. Arif Naseem Khan proposed that only Azan should be given on loudspeaker and the rest of the speeches should be given using the speakers installed inside the mosque, to which the scholars agreed.

In this meeting, a team of lawyers was formed which will try to sort out the papers and other legal problems of the mosques and then legal action will be taken in this regard. Abu Asim Azmi said that the miscreants have objection only to the loudspeakers of mosques. In this, Raj Thackeray, Krant Soumya, Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Nitish Rane are creating an atmosphere of hatred and are conspiring to lure Muslims and bring them on the streets so that the atmosphere gets spoiled. Muslims need to be vigilant, so my demand is that these hateful leaders should be completely banned and their tours should also be banned so that a peaceful atmosphere is maintained. In this meeting, Maulana Abdul Rahman Ziyai said that legal action has been taken regarding the objection to loudspeakers on mosques. Apart from this, Krant Soumya and other leaders are also targeting madrasas. Their documents are also being investigated, which is completely wrong. However, work is also being done on the authenticity of the documents of madrasas and other issues.
