Heavy rain lashed Mumbai and adjoining Navi Mumbai and Thane regions on August 29, delaying suburban train services and leaving vehicles crawling through water-logged roads in low-lying areas.
Traffic jams were 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.
Water-logging was reported in low-lying areas of Parel and Sion. Suburban services were disrupted with trains on all the three lines — western, central and harbour — running late. Flooding on tracks was reported in Andheri and Bandra, civic officials said.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said the situation was well under control and advised the citizens to step out of their homes only if necessary.
