Waterlogging in and around Mumbai has been causing serious problems for residents, even claiming lives. One such tragedy was averted on Thursday when 49-year-old Dilip Shetty helped a 75-year-old Irani national return to Dadar Parsi Colony—where he is staying with his nephew—from Dahisar Check Naka after the senior citizen had lost his way at the flooded spot.

It was the kindness of a stranger that brought the senior citizen, who wishes to remain unnamed, to Shetty, a wine shop owner. “Someone was walking with him at Dahisar Check Naka and stopped the autorickshaw I was in. This was around 3 pm. He [the senior citizen] was confused and disoriented. He didn’t have a phone,” Shetty recalled.
