TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Overnight rainfall in Mumbai inundated several areas across the city including Sion, Matunga, Mahim, Andheri, Malad and Dahisar causing huge traffic snarls at major junctions on Wednesday. This comes a day after the India Meteorological Department issued a heavy rainfall warning for Mumbai stating that a cyclonic circulation would bring more rain showers to the city in the next two days.
Relentless rain caused submersion of railway tracks in Sion, a low-lying area and prone to flooding. Central Railway Public Relations Officer said suburban train services are running on all four corridors of Central Railway. However, there is a delay of 10 to 15 minutes on the mainline between Kurla and Sion, due to waterlogging in low lying areas of this section, the official said.
Poor visibility led to the collision of three cars in the Andheri area of the city in the wee hours of Wednesday, leaving eight injured. According to Skymet, a private weather forecasting agency, in the last three hours between 2:30 am and 5:30 am today, Santa Cruz observatory recorded 51 mm of rain, with torrential downpour continuing through the morning in most parts of the city.
