According to the report, the amount spent on repairs indicate that while the total rainfall received has in­creased by around 30 per cent over the past five years, the money spent on repairs has seen a 200 per cent increase during the same time. Moreover, BMC has spent close to Rs 4,500 crore on building new asphalt and concrete roads across the city during this period.Contact: Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation.Tel: 022-2262 0251.Website: www.mcgm.gov.in
