Mumbaikars can rest assured the city will not witness abnormally high tides this monsoon, like those measuring over 5 metres which occurred last year. For, the weatherman's forecast says that the city will have a total of 26 days when high tides will measure between 4.5m and 4.95m.
This spells good news for the BMC. Nevertheless, the civic body plans to take all precautions, and even install CCTVs at low lying areas such as Milan Subway, Dadar TT and along Linking Road.
"We will take all precautions even though the tide is not expected to rise over five metres. This is because in case there happens to be unusually heavy rain, then even a high tide of 4.5 metres can cause concern," said an officer of the Disaster Management Cell.
As per available data, this year, the highest tide will be of 4.95 metres on August 12 at 13.44 pm.
