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.

Mumbai is battling one of its deadliest monsoon spells of the season after relentless rainfall claimed at least 10 lives, triggered a deadly chawl collapse in Mankhurd, caused landslides and brought large parts of the city to a standstill. The biggest tragedy unfolded in Mankhurd's Janta Nagar, where a G+2 chawl collapsed following incessant rain. Six people, including five minors, lost their lives in the incident as rescue teams worked through the night to search the debris for survivors. Emergency personnel continue clearance and rescue operations as authorities investigate the cause of the collapse. Across Mumbai, heavy rain has led to multiple fatalities from tree falls, flooding and other weather-related incidents. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region remains under a Red Alert as extremely heavy rainfall disrupts daily life. Schools have been shut, suburban rail services have faced delays, roads remain waterlogged and emergency teams are on high alert across the city. WATCH
