After two weeks of incessant rain, the city may finally witness sunshine again on Saturday. Mumbaikars can enjoy their weekend on beaches as there isn’t any red or orange alert for now. The heavy rain also boosted the water stock in the seven lakes supplying water to the city to 75 per cent.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, in an order on July 7, restricted entry to beaches on heavy rainfall days as a precautionary measure. The decision was taken in view of the drowning incidents this year. As per the order, during the period of orange and red alert by India Meteorological Department (IMD), the beaches shall be open to the general public only between 6 am and 10 am. As the IMD had issued red or orange alert for the city the past week, the beaches were closed.
