BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide described Mumbai as a highly resilient city during a recent podcast. She explained that the civic body now receives 48-hour warnings for heavy rainfall thanks to an AI-driven system developed by IIT that processes IMD data. Bhide highlighted that before the heavy rains last August, officials were able to clear out underground water tanks and relocate residents from slum areas. She also pointed out that even with 124% of the expected rainfall last year, local train operations were only disrupted for a single day.
