The eagerly awaited rain hit Mumbai on Friday morning, but nearly drowned it within three hours. While roads and the traffic situation were in a mess, the railways managed to stay afloat intermittently with the area between Kanjurmarg and Bhandup witnessing water-logging for the very first time. And, in two separate incidents, three people were electrocuted.

One incident of electrocution was reported from Andheri West and another from Mahakali Caves in Goregaon East.
