In a much-needed relief to Mumbaikars, heavy rains took a break today and the suburban train services resumed functioning, officials said. The local train services were badly affected on a section of the Western Railway (WR) yesterday due to inundation of tracks.

The road traffic was moving smoothly after four days of heavy rains, which had crippled life in the megacity. Trains were packed with commuters since early morning and the WR was running its services on some routes with restricted speed as the tracks were still flooded. In just 10 days, the city received 864.5 mm rain, which is nearly equal to what it gets in an entire month, the MeT department said.
