Heavy rains predicted, Mumbai on alert

Mumbai: While there have only been sporadic showers through the last few nights in Mumbai, heavy rain is predicted in the next 24 hours.

Civic authorities are taking extra precautions to ensure that old buildings in the city don't crumble. Authorities have categorized 150 buildings as “most dangerous”, out of which 107 are located in south and central Mumbai.

Residents have been issued evacuation notices with fears that the buildings might collapse in the heavy downpour.

But despite notices, authorities allege the tenants are refusing to move out.
