Record-breaking monsoon rains killed 13 people across Mumbai, Palghar and Raigad districts over four days, Maharashtra’s government confirmed.
The toll included deaths from building collapses, falling trees and drowning in waterlogged areas. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis convened disaster management meetings as railways and flights faced cancellations.
Palghar and Raigad, adjoining Mumbai, reported landslides and flooded highways. Disaster Minister Girish Mahajan urged residents to stay indoors amid wind gusts forecast at 70 to 90 kilometers per hour.
The intensity of rainfall exceeded typical early-July averages, straining drainage in the financial capital and surrounding coastal districts.
