Mumbai rains live updates: With parts of Mumbai witnessing waterlogging after heavy rainfall in the city, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has directed officials to stay alert and monitor the situation. Both Colaba and Santacruz observatories recorded rainfall in the triple digits, 117 mm and 124 mm, respectively, over the past 24 hours ending at 8.30 am on Tuesday. Heavy rainfall is on the cards on Tuesday as well for the entire Konkan region.
The district administration of Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and Kolhapur have been put on alert and NDRF teams have been deputed, said the Chief Minister’s Office.
Meanwhile, in a speech after winning the floor test in the Maharashtra Assembly on Monday, Shinde stated, “Balasaheb Thackeray had said once that Shiv Sena will never go along with NCP and Congress to form a government… ‘Congress and NCP are our enemy and will remain the enemy of Shiv Sena. I am here till Shiv Sena is there. When I will not be there, then Sena will turn into Congress’. The moment he (Balasaheb) realises that Sena is becoming Congress, he will dissolve the party. These are the words of Balasaheb Thackeray. So, we have done nothing wrong.”
