Mumbai experienced faced 315 mm rainfall on Tuesday.

This refers to the editorial, ‘When it pours’ (IE, August 31). The monsoon will always be sporadic. Leave alone big cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, Assam, which faces flood almost on a yearly basis, has not found a mechanism to manage the floods and reduce the loss, both of human lives and public property. Mumbai experienced faced 315 mm rainfall on Tuesday. It does not have the infrastructure to deal with 50 mm of rain.
