Mumbai has been receiving incessant rains since the onset of monsoons this year. The heavy downpour led to waterlogging, along with cancellation and delay in train services. Flight operations at the Mumbai airport were also hit in the past few days.
A number of building collapse incidents were also reported from parts of Maharashtra as heavy rains continue to wreak havoc in the state.
