Heavy rainfall in Mumbai crippled the financial capital for the last couple of days and the severe flooding irked people who vented their anger online. The rains left many places in the city and its suburbs waterlogged and many took to social media to complain. With a public holiday being declared in the city Tuesday due to the highest rainfall in 24 hours since 1974 (excluding 2005) many blamed the city's civic body, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), for not being prepared.
