Watch: Sea dumps the garbage back on to the Marine Drive as high tide hits Mumbai

Earlier this week, due to unprecedented 20 inches rain in 6-7 hours, the crocodiles from Vishwamitri river from Vadodara were found swimming on the flooded streets. 

A double whammy of strong torrential rains and high tide have afflicted the city of Mumbai as the strong sea waves have started throwing the garbage sewage along the Marine Drive in Mumbai. The garbage dumped by the sea has turned the iconic Marine Drive into a necklace of trash.


Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation(BMC) workers were scrambled to the spot to clean the garbage strewn along the Marine Drive promenade as the high tide hit the city of Mumbai today. Besides, the severe down pouring of the rains today have adversely affected the normal life in Mumbai.

Various parts of the country are currently flooded due to heavy downpour of rain. Earlier this week, due to unprecedented 20 inches rain in 6-7 hours, the crocodiles from Vishwamitri river from Vadodara were found swimming on the flooded streets.
