After the death of Dr Deepak Amarapurkar, who had slipped into an open manhole near Elphinstone Road last monsoon, the civic body had decided to place protective nets under all manholes in Mumbai. However, civic officials from the storm water drains (SWD) department say that there is no likelihood of this happening this monsoon. Thus, in the suburbs, at least, pedestrians will wade through flooded roads at their own peril.
