Heavy monsoon rains have claimed at least 10 lives in Mumbai and nearby areas, while widespread flooding and landslides disrupted normal life across Maharashtra. Authorities closed schools and colleges as a precaution, and landslides forced the suspension of train services on the Mumbai–Pune route. Traffic on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway and the old highway was also halted after debris blocked key stretches. Emergency teams have been deployed as rescue and restoration work continues. The India Meteorological Department has issued a red warning for heavy rainfall, urging residents to avoid unnecessary travel and remain alert.
