💬 On-the-Ground Impact

  1. Commuters: Streets are flooded 🛑, traffic crawls 🚗, and you’ll need sturdy chappals & umbrellas ☔.

  2. Travel: Flights ✈️ and trains 🚆 could be delayed. Metro may be your best bet to reach safely.

  3. Construction & Farms: Work may stop 🛠️, and fields 🌾 need drainage care to avoid crop damage.

  4. Public Safety: Strong winds & lightning can be risky – tie down loose stuff 🏠.

  5. Local Govts: Need to clean drains 🧹, open flood shelters 🏢, and protect the vulnerable.

🧠 MediaFx POV

From the people’s perspective, this ain’t just about the rain 🌧️ – it’s about how workers, farmers, and daily wage earners suffer the most when monsoons flood their homes and jobs. We must push for strong public systems, not just fancy flood control for rich colonies. Every student 🎒, rickshaw driver 🚲 and farmer 🌿 deserves protection and fair support when storms hit. No one should be left behind when the skies pour. 💪🌈
