The BMC's tall claims that the city will not be flooded this time have gone down the drain, literally, with 41 spots across the city water-logged on Day 5 of the rains. Roads were hard to navigate and delays on the railways caused a stampede-like situation at Thane railway station with no RPF personnel in sight.

The services on the Central line were on Monday affected not only because of heavy rainfall, but also due to a stampede-like situation at Thane railway station with no RPF personnel in sight. The incident occurred when commuters alighted from an overcrowded train onto the platform, which was also packed.
