The heavy showers led to water accumulation at several vulnerable locations across the city, including Hindmata, Andheri Subway, Malad Subway, and parts of Sion. Traffic movement was affected during the early morning hours as commuters faced delays due to inundated roads. Civic authorities deployed drainage and emergency response teams to clear waterlogged stretches and restore normal traffic flow.
