The railway line between Matunga and Sion will be free from waterlogging next year. The construction of the mini stormwater pumping station at Dharavi T Junction will be completed before the next monsoon. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is making temporary arrangements to provide relief to parts of Dharavi and Sion.
To address waterlogging issues during heavy rain, the BMC plans to install a mini stormwater pumping station with gate pumps at Dharavi T Junction and obtain environmental and forest departments’ permission as the proposed site falls under the coastal regulation zone. Permissions from the mangrove cell of the forest department and Maharashtra coastal zone management authority have been received.
