report writing on city life paralysed
Answers
Answer:
Water seeped into homes, roads and train tracks got submerged, public transport was crippled and thousands trudged in knee deep water as Mumbai, India's financial and movie capital, drowned Tuesday after days of heavy showers in a virtual repeat of last year's monsoon disaster.
To deal with the chaotic situation, the city's police authorities urged Mumbai's 14 million people to stay indoors. The appeal was promptly heeded, partly because even those who tried to venture out in their vehicles returned home frustrated after finding no trace of many of the roads.
The worst scenes were witnessed in Kalina, where rainwater whose color turned greenish after passing through gutters and sewers entered scores of homes in a torrent, submerging furniture, refrigerators and everything else.
