Bombay High Court Chief Justice Mohit S. Shah on Friday declared a public holiday for all courts in the city due to the excessive rain, which has disrupted normal life.
According to reports, several flights have either been delayed or are being diverted due to heavy water logging.
Meanwhile, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has reportedly asked residents not to venture out of their homes unless 'absolutely necessary'.
The BMC had earlier ordered schools in Mumbai to close in view of the heavy rain and problems related to water logging.
The heavy overnight rain has disrupted local train services and traffic in several parts of the city has been moving at a snail's pace.
