Incessant showers lashed Mumbai and adjoining areas, disrupting suburban train services and flight operations as normal life was thrown out of gear in the metropolis, where an elderly woman died of burn injuries caused by a short-circuit, while people waded through water-logged streets and faced traffic chaos on Monday. Some areas in Mumbai received more than 300 mm of rainfall in just six hours ending at 7 am, causing inundation of roads and low-lying areas.
