It has been raining continuously overnight in Mumbai city and suburbs. The rains have also hit Mumbai's 'lifeline' local train service. Traffic on all the three railway lines in Mumbai is running late. Therefore, the passengers may have to face traffic problems while getting to work. The meteorological department has also forecast torrential rains in and around Mumbai in the next few hours. Therefore, if water accumulation starts at low-lying railway stations, the slow-moving local traffic is likely to be further affected.
