MUMBAI: Mumbai is grappling with its annual monsoon mayhem, which has resulted in heavy floods, water-logged streets and widespread ravages in several parts of the city.

Devastating videos of trees uprooted, submerged vehicles on street, water entering hospitals and residences have emerged on the internet.

As per reports, the lady stood on the street for almost 5 hours warning people about the open manhole.
