Torrential Rains Cripple The City

The city has received torrential rains in the past couple of days which
resulted in the city coming to a halt today (Fri, 22/8).

The rains came in full fury today and brought the city to a halt. The
Western and the Central Suburban Railways which were running late in the
morning came to a stand-still by late afternoon.  Many out-station trains
were also cancelled.

Many areas of the city are flooded with water making commuting by road
difficult. 

Many people have been stranded in offices with the trains being
non-functional and buses being packed with people like sardines in a can.
Even taxis and auto-rickshaws are hard to find and those available demand
a "good" amount of money.

It is reported that some railway station platforms too have been submerged
with water and the streets in some parts of the city have waist-high
water. 

It seems that this time nature has imposed a compulsory "bandh" in the
city!! (-8
