Navi Mumbai faced waterlogging in several low-lying areas on Friday afternoon after continuous rainfall brought traffic movement to a standstill in parts of the city.
The Sanpada underpass was inundated, leading to long delays for vehicles, while stretches along Turbhe MIDC Road were also submerged. At the APMC vegetable market, one of the busiest trading hubs, traders and visitors had to wade through waterlogged passages, slowing down daily operations.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the city will continue to experience a cloudy sky with moderate spells of rain over the next 24 hours.
