The incessant rainfall and the subsequent waterlogging on Wednesday paralysed the city by bringing to a halt its lifeline — Mumbai locals — among affecting hundreds of commuters who struggled to their destination. The massive traffic jam on already-flooded roads, too, brought sufferings to many.

A night at office

Over 120 employees of New India Assurance had to spend Wednesday night at Fort office due to waterlogging. "As there were no trains or other means of transportation to go home, about 120 of us decided to stay at office. Next morning, we all took the first train home," said Anurag Patil, a Seawoods resident.
