Water-logging, traffic jams in Navi Mumbai

July 01, 2019 17:01

Water-logging in Navi Mumbai disrupts traffic and leads to massive traffic jams due to heavy rains during the night and on Monday morning in Mumbai and its outskirts.

Low-lying areas were inundates, trains delayed and vehicular movement on roads slowed down across Mumbai and its suburbs.

Several local train services, considered the lifeline of Mumbai, were cancelled or short-terminated as a temporary bamboo structure erected for civil work fell on an overhead wire near the Marine Lines station on the Western line, an official said.

The weather station in Santacruz recorded 91 mm of rainfall in 24 hours ending at 8.30 am on Monday, an India Meteorological Department (IMD) official said, predicting more showers in the city and in the parched Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra.

The vehicular movement from suburbs towards south Mumbai and the Bandra-Kurla Complex, where several corporate houses and private companies are located, was slow due to the incessant showers.
