Heavy rain cripples Mumbai, Maha CM reviews situation; Rahul seeks relief for flood-hit Assam
NEW DELHI: Heavy rain in Mumbai on Monday affected local train services and flight operations, prompting Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to review the situation while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi visited flood-hit Assam and sought the Centre's help for the state.
The rain mayhem led to the inundation of several low-lying areas in Mumbai, impacting vehicular movement, while all schools in the city, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg districts remained shut.
Both Houses of the Maharashtra legislature were adjourned as many members and officials could not reach the Vidhan Bhavan due to the downpour.
