Mumbai rains HIGHLIGHTS: The vehicular and rail traffic in Mumbai resumed today after heavy rains battered the city, inundating low-lying areas, halting local trains in their tracks and forcing the diversion of at least 14 incoming flights. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for Mumbai and its adjoining districts Thane, Palghar, and Raigad for Thursday morning (September 26).
