Mumbai has been battered by relentless rains for the past two days. The India Meterological Department has issued a 'red' alert for the city, which has been extended until 8.30 am on Friday. The weather department has urged residents to exercise caution due to the monsoon fury.
The rains have caused severe waterlogging in many areas of the city. Low-lying areas have been particularly affected, with some trains even being delayed due to water accumulation on the tracks. Visuals of waterlogging at Marine Lines Station have been circulating on social media, with people wading through muddy waters near Churchgate and Marine Lines.
The effects of the downpour have been felt in posh localities too, with the roads near Highway Apartment in Matunga submerged under nearly half a foot of water. Similar scenes were witnessed in Cuffe Parade as well, with visuals of waterlogging being shared on Twitter.
In light of the adverse weather conditions, the National Disaster Response Force has deployed 13 teams across Maharashtra. As a precautionary measure, schools and colleges in Mumbai, Thane, Ratnagiri, and Chandrapur districts have been declared closed for the day to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff.
The weather conditions in Mumbai have been unpredictable and extreme. Residents are advised to exercise caution and take safety measures.
