Heavy rain in Mumbai triggers widespread waterlogging, disrupts normal life

Heavy rainfall has caused widespread waterlogging across Mumbai, leading to significant disruption. Nine flights were forced to abort landings at the city's airport. Train services faced interruptions, with morning operations affected and evening services at risk due to a high tide alert. Schools and colleges have been ordered shut, and offices were directed to close early. Areas not typically prone to waterlogging, including parts of Worli, Prabhadevi, Matunga, and Vadala, experienced submergence. Public transport buses were seen struggling through waterlogged roads. Efforts to clear water by opening storm drainage lids were ineffective due to continuous rain. A red alert has been issued until Tuesday, with predictions of continued heavy rainfall. New flooding spots have emerged in Mumbai, attributed to ongoing metro work and road construction projects.
