Mumbai slowly returned to normal on Wednesday (August 30) with train services gradually resuming as heavy monsoon rains, which had brought life in India’s financial capital to a halt, stopped.

Two toddlers were among at least six people who died in the flash floods triggered by the torrential rains. The rains destroyed homes and disrupted traffic in Mumbai on Tuesday (August 29).

Suburban trains slowly started getting back on track and dozens of commuters began walking to work in Mumbai, a city of 20 million people that is home to India’s two biggest stock exchanges and the headquarters of several major companies.

Some low-lying areas remained under water, causing vehicle pile-ups, after the city received nearly a month’s equivalent of rainfall in a single day. Authorities ordered schools and colleges to shut following forecasts of more rain.

A resident of Dharavi, one of Asia’s largest slums said things were going well with little rain water left behind and power supply restored. However, she feared another downpour.

Weather officials predict heavy seasonal monsoon rains in the city and its surroundings over the next 24 hours, following more than 200 mm (7 inches) of rain in Mumbai, and urged people to stay indoors.
