Despite continuous rainfall since last night, spokespeople from Western Railway and Central Railway told ANI that suburban services were running normally. However, rail commuters reported waterlogging at Dadar, Kurla, and Bandra stations, causing local train delays of 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, water-filled potholes further worsened road traffic across the city.

Western Railway announced on its official X handle Monday morning that train services are running normally. “Despite continuous rainfall since last night, Western Railway’s local trains over the Mumbai Suburban Section are running normally,” the post said.

Red Alert In Mumbai

4. Traffic was also reported to be moving slowly from Agripada Police Station to Maratha Mandir Junction because of waterlogging.

5. According to the 10 a.m. nowcast from the Indian Meteorological Department, an orange alert was issued for Pune, Ratnagiri, Thane, Palghar, and Ahmednagar, while a red alert was declared for Mumbai Suburban and the city.
