Even the BMC advised people to stay home in wake of Cyclone Nisarga. “While it’s best that you stay at home during heavy rainfall; but if, for some unavoidable reason, you need to drive your car, please ensure that you carry hammer or objects that can help you break glass in case your car doors get jammed,” BMC said in a statement.
