Heavy rain continued to lash Vasai-Nalasopara and nearby areas on Tuesday, causing widespread waterlogging that disrupted daily life and local train services.
A video shared online showed local trains navigating slowly through flooded railway tracks, with water submerging large portions of the area. As a precautionary measure, trains operated at restricted speeds to ensure passenger safety.
The footage also revealed rainwater covering vast stretches around the tracks, leaving only electric poles and a few bushes visible, while distant buildings appeared completely surrounded by floodwater.
