Heavy monsoon rains have battered Mumbai, causing severe waterlogging across several parts of the city and triggering a tragic incident in Sakinaka. A 55-year-old man, Aslam Esaf Shaikh, was swept into an open manhole concealed beneath floodwater during the downpour. Fire brigade and disaster management teams launched a rescue operation, and his body was recovered after nearly two hours. He was later declared dead at Rajawadi Hospital.

In a dramatic reunion after nearly two decades, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray shared the stage in Mumbai at Worli Dome. At a rally against the Hindi push in schools, the brothers hinted at future collaboration and political unity in Maharashtra.
