Heavy rains battered Mumbai overnight, causing waterlogging in some low-lying areas and slowing vehicular movement in parts of the city. Several areas also witnessed reduced visibility.
Mumbai Police have advised people to avoid non-essential travel.

Meanwhile, two people were killed and two others injured in a landslide at Jankalyan society in Varsha Nagar.
Videos shared on social media showed railway tracks filled with water in Dadar and Bandra stations after incessant rain. Several popular places like Kings Circle and Gandhi Market have also been submerged in water.
The India Meteorological Department has predicted moderate to heavy rainfall at many places and extremely heavy rainfall at isolated places in Maharashtra for Saturday.
