Heavy rains lashed Mumbai and Thane starting from Saturday and continued to do so well into the early hours of Sunday, resulting in widespread waterlogging in several low-lying areas. The deluge submerged bridges across rivers, blocked roads and disrupted transport services. Railway services were particularly affected, with waterlogging on the tracks between Karjat and Panvel, causing long-distance trains to be re-routed.
The intensity of rain has increased significantly since last week, resulting in frequent disruptions in transport services.
On Sunday, heavy rainfall in Thane district created a flood-like situation, prompting the closure of several river bridges and cutting off connectivity to many villages. Residents and tourists in Shahapur, Murbad, Badlapur, and Karjat faced difficulties returning home because of road closures and confusion over diverted routes.
