Waterlogging has been reported from some houses in low-lying areas in Thane and Bhiwandi.

Neighbouring Kalyan and Dombivli in the densely-populated Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) also received heavy rainfall, while a notice was issued to shut state government-run offices in Mumbai on Tuesday and several suburban trains were cancelled from Kalyan station.

“The commuters faced inconvenience due to cancellation of suburban trains from Kalyan station. Besides, there were fewer public buses because of waterlogging and traffic snarls. I had to wait for an hour to reach my workplace at Prabhadevi in central Mumbai,” said Rajesh Kankal (43), a resident of Kalyan.
