Tauktae Cyclone Viral Video: The cyclonic storm Tauktae formed over the Arabian Sea, which intensified into a very severe cyclonic storm by Monday morning, has brought gusty winds and heavy rains in Mumbai. Several incidents of uprooted trees, collapsed buildings and rain-related accidents were reported from the city. As many remained indoors due to the double threat of Covid and the storm, a video of a woman municipal worker sweeping the streets has gone viral, touching the hearts of people.

Braving through the cyclone, the BMC worker can be seen sweeping and cleaning the road as the city experiences heavy rainfall. With no raincoat except a plastic gear on her head, the woman is busy removing the fallen leaves from the tree from the road.

Many others also requested BMC to provide municipal workers, protective raincoats and gears for their safety. One user wrote, ”These bravehearts are nothing less than Covid warriors along with our HCW. Dear @mybmc- could we provide them protective gears/ Kit please. These are our frontline warriors on the ground, cleaning the streets in any adverse situation. Least we can do that for them.”

When we all are taking rest in our home they are working 🙏🙏

I am motivated by the way they work no matter regardless of what others think and dont give any reasons. With respect to the beating up, I am helpless rather than feeling sorry for them as I am not holding any authoritative position to take up actions or whatever

I'm sure some citizens would not have been bothered if the street wasn't cleaned today, but what dedication. All the respect to the municipal and front line workers.

@mybmc @KishoriPednekar @AUThackeray @OfficeofUT PLEASE provide these essential workers proper raincoats. 🙏🙏🙏That's the least we can do as a humane society. People would be happy to pay taxes when the taxes are properly utilized. #mumbairain #CycloneTauktae
