The Vasai–Virar–Nalasopara belt received an intense spell of 230–250 mm of rainfall within just three to four hours, leading to severe water accumulation in low-lying areas

The heavy rainfall also impacted local train operations, with commuters facing significant delays on the suburban railway network due to waterlogging and adverse weather conditions

Continuous downpours and poor drainage have significantly worsened the situation for residents, disrupting normal life across the city

Over the past 24 hours, the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation (VVMC) area recorded a staggering 215 mm of rainfall, pushing the region into a flood-like situation

Bus and autorickshaw services have come to a complete halt, leaving commuters stranded and further compounding the public's difficulties.
