Holiday declared for schools and colleges in Mumbai due to heavy rainfall

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Monday announced a holiday for all schools and colleges following heavy rainfall, with afternoon-shift schools set to remain closed.

Mumbai continued to reel under heavy rains for the third consecutive day on Monday, resulting in waterlogging in low-lying



areas.

Blinding downpours in some parts of the city reduced visibility and slowed vehicular movement. Roads in multiple localities were inundated, with low-lying spots like the Andheri Subway and Lokhandwala Complex witnessing water accumulation that disrupted traffic.

Local trains, the lifeline of the city, running late by 15 to 20 minutes.
