Meanwhile, the continuous downpour led to waterlogging in several low-lying sreas of the city, including Hindmata Junction near Dadar and King's Circle near Sion.


Many people who stepped out for work had to wade through the water while crossing the waterlogged roads at several areas in the city as heavy rains continued in Mumbai, MMR and other nearby areas. Heavy rains will continue in the city on Sunday as per weather forecast by IMD.
