A 40-foot-long wall collapsed behind Viviana Mall in Vartak Nagar area of Thane West in Maharashtra, Thane Municipal Corporation said, as reported by the news agency ANI on Monday. No injuries were reported, it said. In a rare event, the monsoon on Sunday covered both Delhi and Mumbai together. While it hit the national capital two days earlier than schedule, its entry into Mumbai is two weeks late, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Heavy rains affected vehicular movement on some roads in the city. Water-logging in areas like Malad and Andheri slowed down the traffic further.
