The woes of Mumbai resurfaced as monsoon hit the coastal city Mumbai. As the city has been witnessing heavy rains since Tuesday, most parts of it went under swathes of water.
Heavy downpour led to a wall collapse in Thane claiming eight lives. Rains also triggered a landslide at the Chembur-Vashi-Naka area. However, no casualty was reported.
The downpour resulted in water-logging in several parts of the city. People waded through knee-deep water. As in the past, the storm water drainage system collapsed again.
Large parts of the city were flooded and residents were marooned in their houses. Normal life was hit in areas around Andheri and Hindmata due to heavy water-logging.
