INDIAN RAILWAYS UPDATE: Mumbai and its adjoining areas continue to receive heavy showers on Wednesday, resulting in water-logging at a number of places including railway tracks, which slowed the movement of trains and vehicles on roads. With Tuesday’s downpour, Mumbai has recorded 69.41 per cent (594 mm) of the average July rainfall (855.7 mm) in just the first five days of the month.

The local train services, considered as the lifeline of Mumbai, were affected mainly on the main and harbour corridors of the Central Railway due to water- logging on tracks near Kurla, slowing down train movement. Shivaji Sutar, Chief Public Relations Officer, Central Railway, Mumbai, tweeted: “Train Alert! 7.00AM

Trains on all corridors are running.”
