Rains have been battering the subcontinent since last month. Mumbai had received incessant rainfalls during mid-August (From Aug 16-Aug 20) which had brought the financial capital to a standstill.
Downpour has also led to landslides in Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, floods in Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and many other states.
New Delhi has also been crippled by the rain’s fury with Yamuna floodwater causing mayhem in several key stretches of the national capital on Thursday.
