Heavy rains lashed Mumbai on Monday, flooding the under-construction Acharya Atre Chowk station on Metro Line-3. A preventive barrier failed, causing rainwater to gush into the station, leading to temporary closure and curtailed train services up to Worli. Passengers were seen wading through waterlogged stairs. Mumbai Metro issued a public notice apologizing for the disruption. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red alert for the city as the southwest monsoon hits with thunderstorms and lightning. Key areas like Colaba, Bandra, and Juhu recorded heavy rainfall, leading to widespread waterlogging and traffic disruptions across Mumbai.
