Mumbai Faces Severe Flooding: Social Media Users Post Images Of Submerged Vehicles & Inundated Homes

Intermittent rain for over eight hours in Mumbai disrupted daily life on Wednesday, leading authorities to issue a ‘Red Alert’ warning.

The heavy rainfall caused severe waterlogging on roads in the financial hub, resulting in significant traffic congestion on the Western Express Highway and other routes. Flight operations have also been impacted, and local trains—the city’s lifeline—are operating at reduced speeds.

The Meteorological Department has forecasted “extremely heavy rainfall,” with the red alert in effect until 8:30 AM on Thursday.

Netizens Share Visuals

Social media users shared images of submerged railway tracks at Kurla, Kanjurmarg, and Mankhurd.

One netizen posted photos of vehicles submerged near Phoenix Mall in Kurla.

Another user shared pictures of water entering their home.

In light of the Red Alert, all schools and colleges in Mumbai have been declared closed for Thursday (September 26).
