Mumbai experienced its first significant monsoon rainfall of June on Monday, with several areas recording over 100mm of rain within 24 hours. Unfortunately, a 13-year-old boy drowned in a water-filled pit near the BKC Metro station during the downpour. While the intense rain did not trigger major city-wide disruptions, there were incidents of waterlogging in parts like Kurla and a brief subway closure in Andheri. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar for potentially heavy rain until Tuesday morning, and forecast continued rainfall till June 28 due to an upper air cyclonic circulation. timesofindia.indiatimes.com

The newly inaugurated Vikhroli rail overbridge in Mumbai, aimed at improving east-west connectivity, is facing criticism for key design shortcomings. Despite taking seven years to complete due to land acquisition issues and pandemic-related delays, the 615-metre-long bridge lacks essential infrastructure, including a central divider and pedestrian footpaths. This is part of a broader trend seen in recent bridge reconstructions across Mumbai, such as the Delisle Road and Gokhale bridges, which also reduced or eliminated pedestrian pathways, diverging from their British-era predecessors. Critics question whether sufficient planning was undertaken, particularly in terms of safety and usability for both vehicles and pedestrians. timesofindia.indiatimes.com
