Water Water Everywhere

[Guest guest]

Hey all,

 

I am opening my mail box after 3 days, as no eletricity till yesterday, ATM's

not working, Banks closed, Schools & Collages are off dut record break Rains in

Mumbai, Thane & Raigad districts. Trains are not working. Cell phones networks

jam.

 

We at PAWS received pigeons, birds who became wet & shiewring. Other NGO's in

Mumbai are picking-up dead bodies of cattles in Borivli, Andheri, Jogeshwari.

All cattles are died on the spot becasue they were tied in Milk colony & water

was full till first floor. Death of buffelows will go 300 above. It is stinking

everywhere near those cattle shed.

 

People are stuck-up in trains, bus-stops & not able to go home due to

Easteren Express & Western Express Highway are under water, Many bridges are

broken. Over 200 people died.

 

In our dombivli rly. station the 2 local trains are haulted since past 2 days &

one express train is stuck-up since yesterday. People in trains are starving, so

since today morning we all volunteers are providing biscuts, water & fruits to

people. There is no water in trains even for toilet. All Jain & Social groups

are operational now to provide food to nearst villages. How many animals died in

near villages are unknown.

 

In Thane, 20 Cattle died due to eletric shock. My ThaneSPCA hospital was full

with 2 feet high water, now cleaned. We asked vets not leave hospital for 2 days

atleast. One pup died but except that all staff, animals & infrastructure is

safe. Night Shift Vet. is resting at home. PAWS pigeons shelter was affected

with water yesterday but we put-up tourpolin sheets.

 

Cities like Kalyan, Mumbra, Ulhasnagar, Badlapur Still under water. People are

stuck-up in homes with no food, water, eletricity, telephones, transportation

held-up. Nearst Barvi Dam in Thane District is full with water & now all gates

are opened.

 

In new-Bombay, Panvel - Helicoptors are throwing food packets-miniral water in

flooded areas.

 

My father is not came home since past 2 days but he is safe in Mumbai.

 

The Rains broke the records of past hundred years with 100mm in just 48hrs.

Media stating that trains are working but it is not true. Nijamuddin express is

haulted at our station since yesterday afternoon. One person fallen sick so we

arranged doctor to check in trains.

 

We are tackling situation with our own way. Now rains are less may be mumbai

will start working as usual from tomorrow?
