Mumbai Rains Cause Traffic Snarls
Heavy rains across Mumbai and adjoining areas have severely disrupted traffic movement, with key arterial roads witnessing waterlogging and long snarls. Commuters are facing delays as vehicles crawl through congested stretches in both Navi Mumbai and the city's western corridor. Heavy rain has led to severe waterlogging near Juinagar station on the Sion–Panvel Highway (towards Mumbai), slowing traffic to a crawl with congestion stretching nearly 2–3 km.
