Continuous heavy rainfall in parts of Mumbai has led to flooding, especially in low-lying areas of the India’s financial capital.
The flooding has disrupted suburban train services and forced the closure of schools and colleges.
Water logging slowed traffic movement at places such as south-bound elevated airport road, King Circle Matunga, Kurla depot, Dadar TT, Hindmata Junction, Ram Nagar Subway (Vakola) Andheri Sunway SV Road, and Sakkar Chowk-Wadala.
Officials said high-capacity water pumps are being used to drain the water and railway staff are monitoring the situation to keep Mumbai’s lifeline running.
