MUMBAI, July 9, 2024 (TBINN)
Incessant showers lashed Mumbai and adjoining areas, disrupting suburban train services and flight operations as normal life was thrown out of gear in the metropolis, where an elderly woman died of burn injuries caused by a short-circuit, while people waded through water-logged streets and faced traffic chaos.
Some areas in Mumbai received more than 300 M.M. of rainfall in just six hours ending at 7 A.M., causing inundation of roads and low-lying areas.
Heavy rains also lashed the city throughout the day, further compounding the woes of residents and leading to the closure of schools. There was no respite in sight as the India Meteorological Department (I.M.D.) has issued a ‘Red Alert’ for Mumbai today, predicting heavy showers.
