Heavy rains lash Mumbai: Flights disrupted; traffic jams, water-logging reported

Heavy rains lashed Mumbai in the early hours on Monday, leading to the disruption of flight operations at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport as well as traffic snarls across the city. According to a spokesperson for the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), flight operations were suspended temporarily because of less visibility since 9:15 am due to the rain. Here's more.

Statement
Safety of the passengers cannot be compromised: MIAL spokesperson

"Safety of the passengers cannot be compromised. If the weather is not conducive to land, the operations will have to be kept on hold," said the MIAL spokesperson. Meanwhile, the weather department predicted more rains in parts of Maharashtra. Indian Meteorological Department forecast intermittent showers in Mumbai. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely at isolated places; high tides are expected at 4:18 pm.

Traffic snarls
Heavy rain, potholes, ongoing Metro construction cause long traffic jams

Massive traffic snarls were reported across Mumbai from several areas in eastern and western suburbs, especially in Bandra, Santacruz, and Vile Parle. Office goers took two hours to travel between Borivali and Bandra as the ongoing Metro work narrowed the Western Express Highway. Potholes near the airport flyover at Vile Parle (East) also caused long jams. Traffic was badly hit due to waterlogged roads.
