Mumbai: The pre-monsoon preparations have ramped up in Mumbai's Ward No. 100, with extensive drain cleaning work currently underway in the Railway Colony area. Notably, the ward falls under H/West Ward, which includes parts of Bandra.
Ward 100 corporator Swapna Mhatre took to her official handle on social media and informed that large-scale drain cleaning is underway at the Railway Colony area. The initiative aims to prevent waterlogging and ensure smooth drainage during the upcoming monsoon season.
The work was inspected by Mumbai Suburbs Guardian Minister Ashish Shelar, who reviewed the progress along with H West Ward Assistant Commissioner Dinesh Pallewad, railway officials and municipal staff.

Meanwhile, the state government has directed the BMC to resolve chronic flooding at the Andheri subway before the monsoon. Civic authorities are considering measures such as diverting the Mogra nullah and constructing a water-holding tank to manage excess rainwater. The Andheri subway remains one of Mumbai’s most flood-prone locations, frequently disrupting traffic during intense rainfall.
