Mumbai witnessed heavy showers on Tuesday as the rain intensity increased in the city after a gap of a few days. Early in the morning, there was either no rain or light showers in most parts of the city. The heavy downpour started around 10 am, civic officials said. While there was no report so far of any major water-logging in low-lying areas, several users took to Twitter and complained about 'keechad' on the road.
Some users on Twitter were concerned about going to the office amid the downpour, while others wished that 'they don't drown' in the pool of water outside their houses or offices. There were a few, who termed Mumbai Rains 'unromantic' and 'annoying.' Take a look:
