Mumbai, the financial
capital of India, has come to a standstill with heavy water logging being
reported in several areas.
On Friday, Brihanmumbai
Municipal Corporation received water logging complaints from eight areas -
Bhulabai Desai Road, Bindu Madhav Junction, Worli naka, Hindmata Junction,
Dhobi Ghat Cuff parade, Chirabazar, C P Office, and Byculla Police Station.
Waterlogging
in these places forced the closure of subways and vehicle movement slowed down
as well.
The city witnessed rain showers overnight.
However,
it turned into heavy rainfall in the morning.
The region recorded over 54 mm of rainfall in the last 12
hours.
The India
Meteorological Department has classified light rain between 2.5 and 7.5 mm;
moderate rain (7.6-35.5 mm); heavy rain (35.6-64.4 mm); and extremely heavy
rain (64.5 - 124.4 mm).
