Mumbai rains

The financial capital came to a standstill. No movement, no hustle bustle any longer! It was the third day when the life in Mumbai was still on a halt. The roads were water logged, traffic jams everywhere, rail traffic slow & flights delayed by hours.

In the last 24 hours, the rainfall recorded has been 240.1 mm as reported by the Meteorological Department, Mumbai. As a token of warning, fishermen have been warned not to go into the waters for the next 1 day as there is a potential danger of high tides, which can be detrimental.

The 86-year-old Bollywood actor, Dilip Kumar, has been rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with malaria and dengue. The actor has now been admitted in Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai on June 28, 2009 and is now showing a speedy recovery.

Dilip Kumar hospitalized

As revealed by the doctors of the hospital, the actor would be there in the hospital for another 2 — 3 days. The reports confirm that the actor has positive signs of malaria and dengue. At the time when he was admitted in the hospital, he was suffering from very high fever and respiratory disorder. The doctors declared that the WBCs and platelet count of the actor has shown a gradual increase and that the BMC has found traces of dengue mosquito at his residence. This is the reason the doctors suspected the actor to be dually affected.

The actor is now on a soft diet and has not responded negative since the beginning of the treatment.
