MUMBAI: The opposition parties in BMC slammed the civic frame on the standing committee meeting on Monday for failing to tackle heavy rains that lashed a number of parts of the city on Saturday. Recalling BMC's claims that every one pre-monsoon arrangements had been achieved, corporators demanded to know then how the city witnessed such a lot flooding.
"Hindmata has been a chronic flooding spot year on year, yet no solution has been found by BMC.

However, it was turned down through the ruling party.
NCP party chief Rakhi Jadhav mentioned that earlier than monsoon, BMC should tell corporators at least in regards to the works now not completed in their wards.
Sena corporator Mangesh Satamkar hit again and mentioned, "Areas like Hindmata are saucer shaped and would flood owing to heavy rains...What needs to be seen is how fast the water would drain off. Unlike in the past when the rainwater would be accumulated for days, now BMC is able to ensure that it is drained off in sooner," he mentioned.
Sena corporator Ramesh Korgaonkar additionally blamed other folks for one of the vital mess. He mentioned that while nullahs are cleaned through BMC earlier than rains, people are noticed strewing garbage into them quickly after. "In Bhandup, I had ensured that the nullahs are cleaned. But within four days, there was garbage in it again. I, however, ensured that it was cleaned up again," mentioned Korgaonkar.
