As India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert for extremely heavy rainfall in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region on Saturday, July 4, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) announced the closure of several key roads due to severe waterlogging.

According to the BMC, heavy rain has caused the Mogra Nala to overflow, while several smaller drains connected to the Mogra Nala drainage system are also running at full capacity. As a result, waterlogging has been reported on multiple roads, with continuous rainfall slowing the drainage of accumulated rainwater.
