The city of Mumbai has been experiencing heavy rainfall, which has disrupted daily life. On Friday, bus and railway services were significantly affected. Continuous rain with occasional heavy downpours caused waterlogging on roads and railway tracks, resulting in delays for public transport.
The Mainline of the Central Railway experienced delays due to a technical issue with a train engine. However, the Western Railway reported that its suburban services continued to run despite the adverse weather conditions.
The Mumbai center of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted more moderate to heavy rains for the city. Residents are advised to stay cautious and follow safety guidelines during this period of unpredictable weather.
The city remains on high alert as emergency services continue their rescue operations and efforts to restore normalcy amid the ongoing heavy rainfall.
