In the wake of heavy rains in Mumbai over the last few days, Vihar lake, one of the key sources of potable water for the metropolis, started overflowing on Monday afternoon, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said. The lake, which has a storage capacity of 2,769.8 crore litres, is the sixth of the seven reservoirs, that supply potable water to Mumbai, to overflow, bringing relief to local residents.

Mumbai floods: 20 years ago, brave men saved lives with limited equipment

Rescuing a woman with a child from a pillar and some Divyang individuals from a bus amid the Mithi river surge still sends shivers down the spine of retired Mumbai Fire Brigade chief Prabhat Rahangdale, even two decades after the July 26 deluge that paralysed Mumbai. On that day, Mumbai came to a standstill as an unprecedented 944 mm of rainfall within 24 hours, combined with high tides, triggered flash floods and landslides that claimed 450 lives. Rahangdale vividly recalls his team rescuing 300 people from areas within a 10-km radiusKurla West, BKC, and Kalinaby deploying kayaks and jet skis, typically reserved for adventure sports. "I've participated in thousands of rescue operations, but some incidents remain permanently etched in memory," he reminisced. At the time, the Fire Brigade and the city civic body lacked dedicated flood rescue teams, prompting Rahangdale to enlist personnel from an agency specialising in beach adventure activities. He and other officials travelled in
