Country's fianancial capital reels under rain water exposing Maharashtra govt's laid back attitude

Local trains, considered the lifeline of Mumbai, today moved at the snail's pace due to
water-logging of the tracks, resulting in harrowing times for lakhs of office-goers and other commuters. A distance, usually covered in about an hour, took
several hours, even up to five hours in some cases, as the rail tracks as well as roads were submerged.
This was the scene of the metropolis as it continued to be lashed by heavy rains for the fourth straight day. This has now become an annual affair during the monsoons and while the citizens may grin, they seem to have become almost immune to these hardships.
"We have now become used to this," said Ranvijay Singh Yadav while travelling from Navi Mumbai to Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) by a local train.
On normal days, the daily commuter's 39-km journey would take him about an hour.
Devendra Masurkar, a daily commuter whose travel from Thane to CSMT by a local train normally takes him 40 minutes, today reached his destination after three and a half hours.
He said many office-goers, who got a train after waiting for for hours, returned home from midway as the locomotive was moving at a very slow pace and they felt they would be reaching their offices only in the afternoon.
