BMC plans to widen the drains in the West and East so that waterlogging can be solved

The subway floods even in case of light spells of rain
In a bid to give some relief to the flood situation at Andheri subway, the BMC has undertaken widening of drains at Andheri West with a total cost of R100 crores. But it may not be enough, until the Mogra pumping station becomes a reality, said civic officials. Diversion of the water drain on the east side of Andheri is also essential, and so the subway issue will take time to eliminate.
There are many such chronic spots in the city which submerge in water after a heavy spell. The BMC is adamant to find a local solution to such problems. After Hindmata, Gandhi Market and Milan subways, the corporation has been focusing on the Andheri subway, where at least six water pumps are stationed to drain out water. Despite that, the subway closes to traffic during rainfall.
