Heavy rains lashed Mumbai late Sunday night and early Saturday morning, with several areas receiving over 300 mm of rain in just six hours. Reports of water-logging surfaced from multiple locations, including Worli, Buntara Bhavan, Kurla East, King's Circle, Dadar and Vidyavihar Railway Station. The rains also disrupted railway operations, with several trains diverted or cancelled due to waterlogged tracks.
While more rains are expected in the coming days, people are sharing updates and photos of the flooding and disruptions on social media.
A user on X shared alarming clips of the flood situation in Mumbai, with the caption, “Mumbaikars are waking up to flood-like situations again in the city this morning. When will the civic bodies take appropriate measures?”
