On Monday, Mumbai continued to grapple with the impact of heavy monsoon showers, leading to widespread waterlogging and traffic disruptions across several parts of the city. One of the most affected areas was Andheri, where intense rainfall resulted in severe flooding. The Andheri Subway had to be shut down due to heavy waterlogging, causing inconvenience to motorists and forcing commuters to seek alternate routes. Swamped roads and submerged underpasses added to the already strained traffic situation. (PICS/ SATEJ SHINDE)
