Mumbai came to a standstill on Monday morning after several areas received more than 300 mm of rainfall in just six hours. The downpour continued through the day — inundating many low-lying areas and impacting vehicular movement. Local train services were also affected due to waterlogging on the tracks.

“Traffic has resumed on all roads. Senior BMC officials are present at all waterlogging-prone spots in the city. The State Disaster Management Authority, NDRF, BMC are on alert. Traffic is running on Eastern and Western highways and all railway lines. NDRF teams have reached all three coastal districts in the state. Army, Navy and Air Force are also on alert,” Chief Minister Eknath Shinde assured late on Monday afternoon.
"Both the services of the Central railway - on the mainline and harbour line are proceeding as per their schedules...We have suffered a disruption at Nahur and Chunabhatti Station of the Harbour Line. Normalcy has been restored to all the local services...We have deployed additional RPF manpower and commercial department manpower...These employees will be helping Indian Railways and Central Railway in proper management of the crowd and prevention of any untoward incident," added Central Railway CPRO Swapnil Dhanraj Nila.
