Netizens irked by flooding every year took to Twitter to troll BMC.

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.

The rainfall in the 24-hour period before 8.30 am Tuesday was the highest since the July 26, 2005 deluge in Mumbai, officials said.

Lakhs of commuters were stranded on Monday at railway stations across the city’s suburban railway network after about 200 local train services were cancelled due to the rains. Mumbai airport’s main runway was also shut due to the heavy rainfall and several flights were diverted to other airports.
