Schools closed, some offices closed and Mumbai struggling with non-stop rains. It is raining like cats and dogs here.
Some trains are cancelled some are running late, others are diverted.
More rain is predicted and most of Mumbai is waterlogged. People who use cycles and two-wheelers are finding it difficult to wade through the waters. Subhash Talekar the spokesmen of the Dabbawalas was sorry that they could manage the food delivery today. It is almost impossible he said.
Extremely heavy rainfall is predicted in some parts of Mumbai in the next two days. The financial capital and city that never sleeps has come to a standstill today. heavy rain has been reported for the last 3 days.
