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: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
