Heavy rains continued to batter Mumbai, its surroundings, hitting normal life and disrupting rail and road traffic. The downpour flooded many roads and streets in low-lying areas of the city and its adjoining districts of Palghar and Thane. People at some places were seen wading through waist-deep water. The Tulsi lake -- a major source of water supply for the city and its suburbs -- overflowed due to the heavy showers. Mumbai's famous tiffin carriers Dabbawalas, also suspended their services on Tuesday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted heavy to very heavy rain till Thursday.
