Mumbai Monsoon Mayhem: Heavy Rain Causes Severe Waterlogging, Disrupts Vehicular Movement Across Several Parts of City - WATCH

Mumbai: Heavy rainfall continued to lash Mumbai and its neighbouring regions on Sunday, triggering severe waterlogging and flooding across several areas. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has maintained a Red Alert for Mumbai and adjoining districts, warning of heavy to extremely heavy rainfall as the active monsoon spell persists.

Several parts of the city witnessed strong gusty winds, affecting traffic and vehicular movement on Western Express Highway, leading to slow vehicular movements.

Moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds also lashed the Santacruz Highway. Despite the adverse weather conditions, vehicular movement on the highway remained largely normal.

Visuals from Kurla Terminus surfaced online, highlighting the extent of waterlogging in the area and raising serious concerns over road safety. Flooded roads near the terminus disrupted vehicular movement and caused inconvenience to commuters.

Several areas of Nalasopara, including Central Park, Tulinj Bridge, and Alliance Hospital Road, also reported severe flooding, affecting traffic movement. To prioritise public safety, municipal authorities deployed drainage pumps at multiple locations to clear the accumulated rainwater.

The IMD has issued a Red Alert for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, and other neighbouring districts, forecasting heavy to extremely heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds reaching speeds of 50–60 kmph at isolated places.

Authorities have urged citizens to avoid unnecessary travel as waterlogging continues to affect several parts of the city. Incidents of tree falls have also increased due to the persistent rainfall, with recent cases reported from Dadar, Churchgate, Thane, and other areas.

Meanwhile, a major road cave-in was reported on LBS Marg in Bhandup (West) amid the heavy rainfall. According to reports, nearly a 100 ft × 100 ft stretch of the road collapsed opposite the Asian Paints premises, where excavation work was underway. The incident occurred at around 1 pm.

Civic officials confirmed that no injuries were reported. However, a tempo parked at the site fell into the collapsed portion of the road.
