The monsoons have arrived in Mumbai, and as it goes the residents are again facing the wrath of it. The general public was seen sharing, how the 200 mm rainfall has affected everyone’s daily life.
Some were also talking about how, even after being a major economic city in the country, bringing in trade and 30 percent of Income-tax collections, the Mumbaikars still have to deal with garbage on a daily basis.
