Mumbai got a break from rains on Thursday morning after the city was practically brought to its knees in the last three days owing to incessant downpour. Schools and colleges returned to normal functioning, too, as the IMD had sounded a ‘yellow alert’ for the city, forecasting moderate rainfall.
A few commuters complained about some delays in suburban services on Central Railway and Western Railway. On Tuesday evening, 782 passengers were rescued after two overcrowded Monorail trains on elevated tracks got stuck between stations in Mumbai on a day of torrential rains.
Incessant rains over the past few days in various parts of the state, including the capital Mumbai and its metropolitan region, had thrown life out of gear. Hundreds of people had to be shifted to safety due to flooding, which also damaged crops on a large scale.
