The heavy rains in Mumbai's person in the morning submerged the roads throughout the western suburbs and created a disturbance in the movement of passengers. In Andheri, due to the sinking of the tracks, the low-level railway subway had to be closed, causing many morning passengers trapped and immediate rescue efforts were initiated to help them.

Local authorities swiftly deployed teams to assist those trapped in stalled vehicles, and Mumbai Metro and rail services issued warnings on social media to avoid the flooded route. Passengers described scenes of chaos: water lapping at car doors and ERR crews wading barefoot to help passengers climb onto dry land.

Residents of the surrounding areas complained of water dripping and damping: "Our houses started looking like a boat," said a local resident. A passenger expressed resentment and told how they had to wait for the bus for hours because the routes were changed due to water filling on the roads.

The garbage often moves into the drains during the monsoon, causing the nearby storm water drainage lines to be blocked and the situation of water logging worse. The heavy rains this time once again exposed the old problem of Mumbai - insufficient drainage system and rapid urban development without solid infrastructure. Every time the heavy rain repeats the picture of traffic jams, public transport malfunctions and problems of the local people. Municipal officials blamed the intensity and speed of the rain, while acknowledging that much of the infrastructure designed decades ago struggles to cope with the city’s current population and climate. They assured residents that drain cleaning and subway elevation plans were underway, but the recurring disruption has fuelled scepticism.

As the city dries out in the afternoon sun, residents are left pondering if “Mumbai Monsoon” will again find them unprepared. The Andheri subway’s temporary closure is a stark reminder of how each rainfall season tests the city’s resilience.

Going forward, experts stress the need for sustainable solutions: modernizing drainage systems, enforcing building norms, and embracing green infrastructure. Until then, every heavy shower keeps the city on edge and its commuters hoping that the next downpour won’t flood their way home.
