Flashback 26 July, 2005: The day Mumbai came to a standstill

The financial cost of floods was huge with the stoppage of entire commercial, trading, and industrial activity for days.

For the first time ever, Mumbai's airports (Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Sahar and Juhu aerodrome) were shut for more than 30 hours due to heavy flooding and extremely poor visibility. Over 700 flights had to be cancelled or were delayed.
