Mumbai, Maharashtra News Today Live Updates, July 07, 2022: In order to avert accidents due to heavy rainfall, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has decided to keep the beaches in Mumbai open from 6 am till 10 am only, news agency ANI reported on Thursday.

No injuries have been reported so far following a level 2 fire at a mall in Powai’s Hiranandani Gardens. 12 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the blaze.

Meanwhile, heavy overnight rains caused flooding at various places in Maharashtra’s Thane district and also led to water-logging around Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s residence in the city on Thursday morning, officials said. Local firemen got a call around 6.15 am on Thursday about inundation near the CM’s residence in Louiswadi area of the city following heavy showers throughout the night, Thane Municipal Corporation’s regional disaster management cell chief Avinash Sawant said. Civic personnel rushed to the spot and cleared the locality of the flood waters, he said.
