Local Train Disrupted

Local train services of the Central Railway and Western Railway were running with some delays, while buses of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking were plying without any diversion.

Advisory Issued

The state advisory warned of urban flooding in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. It also highlighted the risk of landslides in ghat regions and flash floods in vulnerable pockets. District administrations have been told to stay alert and ensure precautionary measures are in place.

Authorities have been instructed to monitor rivers round the clock, keep control rooms functional 24 hours, and deploy pumps in waterlogged areas. Repair teams are to be kept ready for power and road damages, while structurally weak buildings must be checked. Officials have also been directed to track water levels in medium-sized dams across Konkan and upper catchment areas.

Public alerts are being circulated through SMS, social media, and local media outlets. Citizens have been advised to avoid flood-prone zones, minimise travel during intense rain, and move to relief centres if necessary. People have also been asked not to take shelter under trees during thunderstorms.
