04:41And relocating them to a temporary shelter

04:44Officials are saying this is a precautionary measure as the water levels are increasing steadily

04:50The IMD has issued red alert for Mumbai and its suburbs warning of more extremely heavy rainfalls in the next few hours

04:59The flooding risk is aggravated during the high tide when the drainage systems leading to sea are shut

05:08To prevent seawater backflow

05:10With heavy rain continuing, at the same time storm water accumulates in nullahs and low-lying localities
