Bombay battered by heavy rains - News

I apologize for this news update since it's coming a little too late. Moving on to the real story, Bombay's (Mumbhai) busy life was on moratorium after heavy rain obliterated a huge portion of the metropolitan's communications network, apart from the death and destruction. People have been using hand made rafts and boats to travel , however, the situation is gradually improving. People have started to return to their normal lives after all, Bombay is almost a twin sister to New York, in other words, a city that 'hardly' sleeps.

The Bombay stock exchange received a deafening blow after thousands of people were displaced from their homes and a little under feared dead. Reports indicate that there may have been close to 37 inches of rain in one day - passing the previous record of 33 inches that Bombay received in 1910. Further information is available at:
