Excessive rain paralyses Mumbai again, people advised to stay indoors

Heavy rainfall has hit normal life in Mumbai with water logging reported at several locations across the city and local train services rendered suspended with several tracks under water. The incessant rainfall in the city and the forecast of intermittent rain in the next 24 hours has led BMC to cancel all municipality-run schools for the day. In fact, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has advised people to stay indoors and travel only in case of an emergency. In the last 24 hours, south Mumbai recorded an average rainfall of around 188mm, and Western suburbs of around 172mm.
