Mumbai: Heavy rain continued to lash Mumbai city and suburbs on Sunday, throwing normal life out of gear and causing massive inconvenience for the commuters. Local trains, bus and flight services took a hit even as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicted 'heavy to very' rains in the next 24-36 hours.

Several local trains on the three main lines--Western line, Central line, Harbour line -- were either delayed, diverted or cancelled due to severe waterlogging.

Central Railway said that the local train services are being reviewed every 30 minutes due to downpour in Mumbai. Taking to microblogging site Twitter, the Central Railway said, "Due to very very intense rainfall throughout, there is the accumulation of water in different sections of Central Railway Suburban section of Mumbai. We are reviewing the situation every 30 minutes."
