At least 10 people have been killed in rain-related incidents in Mumbai after heavy torrential rain on Tuesday battered the metropolis and its satellite towns.
While nine people were washed away in Mumbai and two adjoining districts, one lost his life in a wall-collapse in Ghatkopar.
The city is now limping back to normal as it did not witness much rain yesterday.
Water level in most parts of the city has now subsided and rail and road traffic are slowly getting back to normal.
Suburban trains on all three lines were running with speed restriction at water logging prone, Sion, Parel and Matunga Road stations. Services of long distance trains have also resumed now.
Around 450 personnel of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been mobilised for deployment in the city.
A Home Ministry statement said, three NDRF teams, already pre-positioned in Mumbai, were immediately supplemented by sending more teams.
The MeT Department has predicted more rain in Mumbai and its suburbs today.
