The BMC managed to keep Hindmata flood-free this year at a cost of Rs 110 crore, and additional work of R15 crore is in the pipeline. However, the solution may not be effective in case of 60 to 70 mm rain per hour for more than two hours as this year both the tanks were almost full during heavy showers.
The civic body also completed the work to dewater Gandhi Market area at a cost of Rs 20 crore, but the work for Mahul pumping station, which would bring relief to Sion, Chembur, Wadala and Matunga, got halted yet again.
