Mumbai: Following the incessant rainfall over the weekend, more than 500 slums are still submerged under water at the Siddhi Vinayak Nagar, near the Titwala railway station (West).

Though the local authorities didn’t respond to the locals. Nearby residents offered aids to the distressed by providing them with food and clothes as well. “We are trying to do as much as we can for the betterment of the people,” said local reisdent Arvind Yadav
