Pictures tweeted by news agency ANI showed the roads of Sion road flooded with water with no person or running vehicle in sight. Waterlogging was also seen at Khandeshwar Railway Station in Navi Mumbai as commuters navigated their way through ankle-deep waters.

The city gets flooded every monsoon and stepping out of home becomes a perilous task as flooded streets, traffic congestion, slippery roads, and open potholes are among the few civic problems that make a comeback and inconvenience the people.

According to civic officials, the city recorded 21 mm of rainfall from 8 am to 6pm Monday, while the eastern and western suburbs received 17 mm and 25 mm of rainfall, respectively, according to PTI report.

Meanwhile, two NDRF teams have also been deployed in coastal Konkan in Maharashtra in view of an orange alert issued by the IMD (India Meteorological Department) for the next few days and considering last year's massive floods in two districts in the region.

Chiplun and Mahad cities witnessed massive floods last year, prompting authorities to launch major rescue operations. Incidents of landslides were also reported.
