Non-stop rains in Mumbai
Road, rail traffic and flights were hit as the countrys commercial capital and many parts of Maharashtra continued to be hammered by incessant rains for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, officials said Mumbai has now been placed at high alert
​Mumbai: Road, rail traffic and flights were hit as the country's commercial capital and many parts of Maharashtra continued to be hammered by incessant rains for the fourth consecutive day on Tuesday, officials said. Mumbai has now been placed at high alert.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis informed the legislature that all agencies including the Indian Navy, the Disaster Management Cell and others are working hard to provide all assistance to Mumbaikars. Anxious moments were experienced at Mumbai Airport when an Air India Express flight IX-213 with 89 passengers, while landing on the alternate runway 14 at around 3 p.m., overshot the runway by 10 feet and stopped on the paved stopway.
A spokesperson said though the aircraft landed correctly and used maximum braking, it could not stop owing to the slippery conditions following heavy rains and stopped only on the paved stopway. There was no damage to the aircraft nor injuries to the passengers or crew.
An airport spokesperson said flight arrivals and departures were delayed by around 25 minutes with no cancellations or diversions. Mumbai's lifeline, the Western Railway (WR) and Central Railway (CR) suburban trains, were running late by 45-60 minutes.
