Train services on the Central and the Harbour lines of Mumbai were disrupted following heavy rains which lashed the metropolis last night.

Traffic was affected today due to water-logging in the tracks in several low-lying areas in the city, inconveniencing daily commuters and office-goers. Water-logging was reported from several places, including Sion and Kurla in central Mumbai, paralysing suburban services between Thane and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on the Central line.

On Harbour line traffic between Panvel and CST stations was crippled due to inundated rail tracks in Chunabhatti, Chembur and Mankhurd stations.

However, trains on the Western line were running late by 15-20 minutes. "Due to heavy downpour resulting in water-logging at several stations on Central and Harbour lines, train services have been stopped for some time. We are waiting for the water to recede to resume services," A K Singh, Central Railway PRO said.

Vehicular traffic was also affected due to water-logging in areas like Parel, Hindmata, Dadar, Milan subway Andheri, Santacruz, Kurla, Vikhroli, Ghatkopar and Vile Parle.

Air services have remained unaffected as of now and there have been no reports of wall or building collapse.
