Mumbai Rains LIVE Updates: Fears of 2005-like Flood Situation amid Downpour, People Asked to Stay Indoors; PM Assures State of Support

Police today issued a warning asking people to stay indoors as heavy rains and winds lashed the city and its neighbouring areas. "We request Mumbaikars to stay indoors and not venture out unless it is extremely essential. Practice all necessary precautions and do not venture out near the shore or waterlogged areas," said Mumbai Police as the downpour brought up fears of the 2005 floods that had submerged large parts of the city. Some local train and bus services were affected due to water-logging on rail tracks and roads, officials said. Rains also lashed Pune, Satara and Kolhapur districts in western Maharashtra, they said.

Water-logging was reported in low-lying areas of Chembur, Parel, Hindmata, Wadala and other areas of Mumbai. The railway authorities suspended the suburban train operations between CSMT-Vashi stations on the Harbour line,CSMT-Kurla on the Main line and also between Churchgate and Kurla due to water-logging on tracks around Masjid Bunder, Kurla, Sion, Marine Line and other stations.
