Mumbai rains despite a weak performance in between, once again picked up pace resulting in heavy to very heavy showers over the city. Heavy rains during the last few days have increased rain figures for the month of June, but they have also resulted in various kinds of problems including traffic chaos as well as waterlogging in many areas.
In a first this year, an auto driver in the Borivali after a big branch of a tree fell on his vehicle during the early morning hours of Saturday. In Jogeshwari East, near the Hanuman Mandir, a few decades old foot over bridge collapsed after heavy rains lashed the city. Due to this, minor injuries were suffered by a 45-year old man.
