Flight operations at Mumbai Airport have been severely affected, with 36 flights cancelled and 15 diverted on Sunday alone.

Local train services, particularly on the Harbour Line, have experienced delays due to waterlogging near several stations. The Central Railway services faced disruptions between Dadar and Matunga stations.

The authorities have urged residents to stay indoors and have instructed disaster response teams to be on high alert. The state government is also ensuring that food, medicine, and relief supplies are adequately stocked, and temporary shelters are prepared.
