Heavy to heavy rains have battered Mumbai. People were advised not to come out unless and until it is an emergency. Some of the offices have been closed for the day.
Mumbai’s public transport services were significantly impacted. The incessant rain has led to waterlogging on roads and railway tracks, causing delays in suburban train services, which were running 15 to 20 minutes behind schedule.
Some meetings were cancelled as there were apprehension that the guests may not reach on time due to traffic snarls. Waterlogging is being cleared by the Municipal authorities.
Water accumulation on the tracks at Chunabhatti on the Harbour line, compounded by high tide, has slowed train movements.
The main line of the Central Railway faced additional delays due to a technical glitch in a train engine. The Western Railway has stated that its suburban services are running, though not without challenges.
All three lines – Central, Western, and Harbour – are running 10 minutes late.
