Heavy rains in some low-lying areas of Mumbai led to waterlogging and disruption of suburban train services; NDRF deploys teams to ‘avert’ flood-like situation.

People walk on a waterlogged street after heavy rains in Mumbai, India on July 8, 2024.

Heavy rains pounded Mumbai and adjoining areas, severely affecting the Central Railway’s suburban services due to waterlogging on tracks and also hit the airport operations leading to 50 flight cancellations on July 8. The rain mayhem led to the inundation of many low-lying areas in the city, impacting vehicular movement, and people were seen wading through flooded streets. The State Government declared a holiday for all schools in Mumbai, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts.

The IMD predicted moderate spells of rainfall in the city and suburbs and heavy showers at isolated places in the next 24 hours. The civic body appealed to citizens not to believe in rumours and to dial its control room numbers for emergency help. Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani kept an eye on the situation from the disaster management control room.
