Heavy rain in Mumbai

Heavy rain lashed Mumbai and large parts of coastal and western Maharashtra Wednesday, providing welcome relief from the extended summer in the city.

Though delayed by over three weeks - the normal date for onset of monsoon is June 10 - the steady downpour resulted in water-logging in low-lying areas and created disruptions in road and rail traffic within the city and outside.

Traffic came to a halt or crawled at some sections on the S.V. Road in the western suburbs and L.B.S. Marg in the eastern suburbs. Suburban trains on Western Railway, Central Railway and Harbour Line ran into delays.

There were traffic snarls on some sections of the Eastern Express Highway as also Western Express Highway, which slice the city vertically.
