Mumbai was left paralaysed by the incessant rain on Tuesday, which left several areas of the financial capital waterlogged and claimed 18 lives in a wall collapse in a northern suburb.
Heavy rains lashing Mumbai since Sunday have thrown rail, air and road traffic out of gear, with several trains being cancelled. Deteriorating weather forced diversion of 54 flights and cancellation of 52 at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
With IMD forecasting heavy rains for Tuesday, the authorities declared a holiday in the city and adjoining regions, asking people to avoid stepping out of their houses.
