The local train and bus services in Mumbai took a hit due to the incessant rainfall in the city over the past few days. The rain waterlogged major sections of train tracks and roads.

Mumbai recorded 565.2 mm or downpour after three days of torrential rain. The city had recorded the highest monthly rainfall at 1106.7 mm in 2015.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced red alert for Konkan region and orange for Mumbai and Thane on Sunday.

Meanwhile, train services in Mumbai resumed on Saturday evening as rain subsided, leading to a drop in water level. The services were earlier disrupted as railway tracks were waterlogged due to the heavy downpours. Bus services were also hit as roads were submerged, making it extremely difficult for vehicles to move.
