Mumbai reels under relentless monsoon fury as the IMD issues a red alert for the second consecutive day. With over 500mm of rainfall in 84 hours, the city is waterlogged from Dadar to Andheri. Schools and colleges remain shut, trains delayed, and 32 university exams are postponed. With more rain on the way, Mumbai faces its worst monsoon alert of 2025.

Days after the flooding of the Mumbai Metro Line 3 at the Acharya Atre Chowk station, MMRC has issued a clarification. Just 16 days after opening to the public, the Acharya Atre Chowk station saw significant waterlogging on May 26th. In widely shared social media videos, the metro station was seen flooded prompting authorities to halt train services between Worli and Acharya Atre Chowk as a safety measure. Social media erupted with criticism, questioning the resilience of the newly launched metro line and is it is safe enough to travel during rain. MMRC Managing Director Ashwini Bhide has issued a clarification on the same.
