Mumbai rains: Maximum city's Railways services hit - Check latest train update before starting your journey

India's financial hub has been officially shut down! Yes, you read that right! The reason behind this major move is the heavy rain that has been lashing the city over the last five days. Local trains and airlines took a major hit. In last 24 hours, the severity of showers was such that schools and colleges along with government offices have been asked to remain closed on Tuesday. Even many private companies have allowed their employees to work from home. Notably, time taken for travelling on Monday took nearly 3-5 hours for any passenger trying to reach her or his destination. Apart from the road services, train services too were impacted and the Indian Railways even decided to cancel or terminate a few express trains from Mumbai.
