Mumbai gets India’s 2nd Integrated Flood Warning System; CM Thackeray calls it ‘blessing’ for city

Terming it as a 'gift to the people of Mumbai,' Thackeray said, 'The IFWS is a blessing for Mumbai in a situation where monsoon has become more difficult to predict. If the IMD had not given early warning of the Nisarga Cyclone, the effect would have been disastrous. It is necessary to do flood management as Mumbai has some areas which are lower than the sea level, making it difficult for water to drain out.'
