Ahead of the rains in the city, the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply And Transport (BEST) on Wednesday issued a 'monsoon advisory' for the citizens of Mumbai.  

The BEST, in an official statement said that during monsoon in Mumbai, the incidents of electric shock and interruptions in electric supply may generally tend to increase. To cope up with such situations, BEST not only takes preventive measures but also deploys additional staff to attend the complaints promptly. The duration of electric supply interruptions may be longer due to factors like inaccessibility in water logged areas, Traffic Jam etc.
