Heavy rains on Tuesday lashed Maharashtra’s capital Mumbai, leaving the city paralysed. The rain-caused havoc has affected the railways, road and air traffic of the city badly. Now, a number of videos showing vehicles floating in the waters have emerged. These videos, tweeted by verified handles, show how the rains lashed the city and caused disruption in city’s day to day life. Along with Mumbai, the adjoining cities of Navi Mumbai and Thane regions were also hit. The flood-like situation created caused suburban train services to get delayed and left vehicles crawling through water-logged roads in low-lying areas. Authorities have issued a number of guidelines, while the chief minister and the prime minister have asked people to take necessary precautions. About the traffic congestion, Press Trust of India says that jams are being reported on all major arterial roads, including the Eastern and Western Express Highway, Sion-Panvel highway and LBS Marg as the rains continued since last night.

Rain also lashed the low-lying areas of Parel and Sion. Mumbai’s lifeline – its railway network – was also badly hit by the water-lodging. PTI reports that the services on all the three lines – western, central and harbour – were disrupted. Civic officials told PTI that water-logging has been reported on tracks in Andheri and Bandra.
