The Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) has installed flood sensors at different locations to alert the control room if the water reaches an alarming level during heavy rains.
The sensors installed at 10 locations are linked to the KDMC's Smart City Operation Centre, where the water levels are monitored round-the-clock.
