The continuous heavy rains in Mumbai have once again affected the pace of the city. In many areas, everything from roads to railway tracks has been flooded. Meanwhile, after the rain, a sight was seen which shocked people. In a video going viral on social media, fishes are seen swimming comfortably in the water filled on the railway track. This scene is so different and unique that whoever saw it was stunned for a few moments.
Waterlogging during monsoon is not a new thing in Mumbai. Every year, due to heavy rains, many places get flooded, which increases the problems of common people. But this time people’s attention was drawn for some other reason. In the viral video, it is clearly visible that the railway track is completely submerged in water and many fish are swimming in the same water. Usually, trains run on railway tracks, but the sight of fish there was no less than a wonder for the people.
Fish seen on railway line
It is being told that due to continuous rains, water from nearby reservoirs, drains or other water sources reached the track. Along with the water, fishes also flowed to the railway line. Although this is not the first time that fishes have been seen in populated areas after floods or heavy rains, but their swimming like this on the railway track is considered to be a very rare sight.
As soon as the video surfaced, it started being shared rapidly on different platforms of social media. Within a short time, thousands of people saw it and various types of reactions started coming on it. During rains in Mumbai, local trains are considered the lifeline of the city. But when railway tracks are flooded, it directly impacts lakhs of passengers. Many times the speed of trains has to be slowed down or services have to be stopped for some time. In such a situation, the viral video definitely became a matter of surprise for the people, but the problem hidden behind it is equally serious.
Many people watching the video also said that nature sometimes shows such scenes which are difficult to even imagine. No one would have imagined that where trains pass every day, one day fishes would be seen swimming. This is the reason why this video is rapidly attracting people’s attention.
Such videos that go viral on social media often become a topic of discussion among people. Some people see them as entertainment, while others try to draw attention to a bigger problem through them. Something similar happened with this video also. On one hand, people made funny comments, while on the other hand, many users raised questions on the challenges related to rain and the preparedness of the city.
