Mumbai rains have pushed Vasai-Virar into a full-blown flood crisis. Relentless rainfall has submerged roads, housing societies and markets, while lakhs of residents are battling a 70-hour power outage that has triggered a severe drinking water shortage. Shocking visuals show people wading through five feet of floodwater, commuters walking along railway tracks after train disruptions, and long queues forming for drinking water as electricity cuts cripple water supply pumps.

A deadly building collapse in Vasai, Maharashtra, has left two dead, including a one-year-old child and nine others injured. The rear portion of the Ramabai Apartment caved in at midnight, crushing a nearby chawl. NDRF and fire brigade teams worked overnight in desperate rescue operations as panic spread among residents.
