Rains lash Mumbai, IMD predicts more in next 24 hours
Some suburban train commuters claimed that the services were delayed by 5 to 15 minutes.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted "moderate to heavy rainfall" for Mumbai and suburbs on Friday and a possibility of "very heavy to extremely heavy" showers at isolated places in the next 24 hours even as an orange alert was issued in the city. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is scheduled to chair a meeting of the disaster management department on Friday.

  • The story is the same every year with streets getting waterlogged, and road and rail transport getting affected.
