As people welcomed the #MumbaiRains with memes, a dramatic video surfaced online on Sunday showing a car drowning into a sinkhole in a parking lot area. The SUV’s owner Dr. Kiran Doshi shot the video after the person who washes the cars in the area witnessed the scene and raised an alarm. Have a look at the video here:

As per a report in Times Now, the BMC stated that the car was parked in the premises of a Ghatkopar West residential society in Maximum city. They said that the car was parked over a well, a part of which was covered with Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC).
त्या 'आरसीसी' केलेल्या भागावर सोसायटीतील रहिवाशी 'कार पार्क' करीत असत. हाच 'आरसीसी' चा भाग खचून त्यावर 'पार्क' केलेली एक कार पाण्यात बुडाली, अशी प्राथमिक माहिती प्राप्त झाली आहे.

In a series of tweets, they wrote, “The residents of the society used to park their cars on the RCC area. Preliminary information has been received that a car parked on the RCC was submerged in water. Fortunately, no one was killed or injured in the incident as no one was in the car.”
घटनेची माहिती मिळाल्यानंतर या अनुषंगाने मदत कार्य म्हणून महानगरपालिकेच्या संबंधित विभाग कार्यालयाद्वारे पाणी उपसण्याच्या कामाचे समन्वयन करण्यात येत आहे. तसेच सदर ठिकाणी सुरक्षेच्या दृष्टीने आवश्यक ती उपाय योजना तातडीने करण्यास संबंधित सोसायटीला सूचित करण्यात आले आहे.
