Mumbai witnessed heavy rain in several parts of the city on Wednesday, leading to traffic disruptions and waterlogging in low-lying areas. Traffic was seen moving slowly near the domestic airport, while waterlogging was reported around Andheri station and other vulnerable stretches.
The Mumbai Traffic Police said in a post on X (formerly Twitter), that traffic towards Andheri Subway had been stopped due to waterlogging and diverted via Gokhale Bridge, S.V. Road and Thakre Bridge. "Due to waterlogging from the rains, traffic heading to Andheri Subway (Andheri) has been stopped, and that traffic has been diverted via Gokhale Bridge, S.V. Road, and Thakre Bridge," the traffic police said.
Water-logging was reported at the Andheri Subway and Santacruz Subway for some time, prompting the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and police to put up barricades and divert vehicles.
