Heavy monsoon showers once again disrupted life in Mumbai, with the Andheri Subway—one of the city’s busiest east-west connectors—temporarily shut due to severe waterlogging. Although vehicular traffic has now resumed, the closure led to long traffic snarls and inconvenience for commuters. An auto rickshaw also got stranded inside the flooded subway before being rescued by BMC officials and the police.
FPJ visited the Andheri Subway and spoke to commuters, many of whom questioned why the subway continues to flood every monsoon despite crores of rupees being spent on desilting and monsoon preparedness.
In this ground report, we also explain the real reasons behind the recurring flooding. The subway’s low-lying design, the Mogra Nullah, and the limitations of the pumping system during intense rainfall all contribute to the problem. Experts say that while pumping helps, only permanent engineering solutions can prevent the annual closures.
Watch FPJ’s on-ground report to understand why the Andheri Subway remains one of Mumbai’s most flood-prone locations.
