Travelling in Mumbai rain? Keep these things in your car

Remember to carry these things the next time it starts to pour

Tuesday was terrible for most motorists in Mumbai. While some had to find a way through massive traffic snarls, others had to leave their vehicles behind.

These are the few things you could keep in your car next time you are stuck in such a situation

1. Battery-powered radio: for updates on which road to avoid and how bad the situation is

2. Flashlight with batteries: this will help you find a way through the flooded street at night

3. Blanket: forced to spend the night in the car? This could come in handy

4. Bottled water: a must-have for a long travel

5. Nonperishable food items: it can save the day for you and those travelling with you too

6. Fiirst-aid kit: can help you tackle a medical emergency

7. Tyre repair kit: a must if you are driving on Mumbai’s roads

8. Spare tyre: again, another necessity for travel in Mumbai
