Rains batter Mumbai
Mumbai has been battered by rain for the last two days, throwing normal life in the metropolis out of gear. More than 1,100 people were moved to safer locations in Maharashtra’s Thane and Palghar after torrential rains disrupted normal life and inundated parts of the two adjoining districts on Tuesday, officials said. Rains continued to pound the two districts, which are part of the Mumbai metropolitan region, flooding houses, triggering wall collapses and cutting off villages, they said.
