Rainfall eased in Mumbai over the weekend allowing authorities to restore transportation networks after the heaviest June rainfall in a decade on Friday closed schools and disrupted businesses in India’s financial hub.
Commuter rail services have been restored and no major traffic snarls are expected on Monday, said Vijay Khabale Patil, a spokesman for the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai. The city received 9.9 centimeters (3.9 inches) of rain in the 24 hours to 8:30 a.m. Sunday, less than half the amount that fell in a similar period to Friday morning, the weather office said on its website.
