Heavy rains lash Mumbai; Central Railway services affected

Heavy rains continued to lash Mumbai and the adjoining Thane district, causing water-logging in the city and the suburbs and hitting suburban train services on the central line as the tracks were flooded.
Suburban train services along Dadar-CST on the central line were suspended due to water logging at Masjid, Sandhurst Road and Byculla stations in the morning.
Services resumed in the afternoon after the rains subsided.
Services on the CST-Kurla harbour line, too, were suspended since morning due to the rains.
However, operations were normal between Kurla and Kalyan, Karjat, Kasara and Kurla towards Panvel as also between Thane and Vashi.

However, being a Sunday, disruption of services did not cause too many problems as Mumbaikars generally preferred to stay indoors due to the heavy downpour since yesterday.

Flight operations at the domestic and international airports were normal.
Water logging was meanwhile reported in the low-lying areas of the city and the suburbs.
Till 11.30 A.M., Colaba had recorded 122.4-mm rainfall while Santacruz received 35-mm.
