Torrential rains lashed Mumbai on Monday, resulting in waterlogged streets, delays in local train service and disrupted life in general in the city. The downpour—the highest of the season in a day—caused traffic jams as several roads were flooded. People could be seen wading in knee-deep waters even as cars crawled over potholes. Several schools declared a holiday and many office-goers decided to work from home. The city’s neighbouring areas got even more rains, and roads were submerged there as well. The IMD has forecast more heavy rains in Mumbai till Tuesday.
