Heav rains predicted after August 5th
It looks like there are more heavy rains to come. Rediff today reports Mumbai to get heavy showers on Aug 5th. This time, a warning has been issued ahead and the government and people have enough time to plan their day and not venture out. The report goes on to call the likely rains devastating and to occur after August 5th. Having said that, how does one plan ahead for such a thing?
I saw on tv news yesterday that people have started pouring out on to the streets after panic spread about rain water flooding houses... I hope the government has more effective communication and support systems in place this time around - if the prediction about more rains later this week come true...
And ironically, at this time, there is fear of drought in Bihar...

Thanks for doing this blog -- I was in Mombai recently and have worried about the folks I met there!
Hi Charukesi,
a minor typo: the url should be
http://in.rediff.com/news/2005/aug/01inter.htm
instead of the one posted on the article (leaving out the last "/"). When I clicked on the link, Rediff's site couldn't find the url. I was using Firefox on Linux, not sure if this is true of all browsers. Nevertheless, the change would be worth it.
Cheers!
Hope nature is more kinder to Shanty Shanghai this time around.
Thanks Ramanand. I fixed it!
