Mumbai Flooded: Heavy Monsoon Rains Cause Widespread Disruption
Mumbai faced significant disruption on Monday due to heavy monsoon rains and thunderstorms. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a yellow alert, predicting further downpours and thunderstorms throughout the day and into Tuesday. South-Central Mumbai bore the brunt of the downpour, experiencing severe flooding that submerged streets and low-lying areas for over three hours.
Social media reports highlighted widespread waterlogging and heavy rainfall. The flooding led to the closure of key routes, including the Andheri Subway, causing major traffic congestion and forcing authorities to implement diversions. Commuters are advised to exercise caution and plan their travel accordingly as the monsoon surge continues.
