Mumbai and surrounding areas in Maharashtra were hit by heavy rainfall, strong winds, and thunderstorms on Wednesday evening. The downpour led to waterlogging and traffic congestion in several parts of the city.
The Mumbai Traffic Police reported slow traffic at Bhatia Bagh, CST Junction, BMC Road, GPO, and Avatar Singh Bedi Chowk due to the heavy rains. Additionally, traffic on the south and north channels in Bandra and BKC limits was moving at a slow pace.
The Sion Bridge's northbound traffic was disrupted by a broken-down taxi, while a stalled truck caused traffic issues at the Dharavi T Junction. The Andheri subway was closed due to waterlogging of 2-2.5 feet, forcing traffic to be diverted via V Road.
Several social media users shared videos of slow-moving traffic and waterlogged areas.
